Really appreciate this breakdown. The hype cycle is moving so fast that many devs feel pressured instead of empowered. In my own work with AI tools, I’ve seen the same thing — people chase shortcuts but struggle when real-world complexity shows up. Your point about depth over shiny tools is spot on. Solid fundamentals + smart use of AI is the only approach that actually scales. Thanks for putting this into words.

Thank you, and you’re absolutely right.
The pace of the hype cycle is creating pressure instead of clarity for so many developers. I see it every day: people jump from tool to tool, but the moment real-world complexity appears, the shortcuts stop working.
