The article perfectly summarizes my frustration and sentiment. These days I hear these buzzwords all time. I work as a consultant for an enterprise product and most people whom I meet they somehow catch these buzzwords and blurt it out in front of everyone during meetings and discussions to either showoff that they know technology and things that are in the market these days(also latest iphone, apple news, tesla, space exploration and what not) or I feel they are somewhat trying to hide their insecurities.
Anyway long story short, most of these people do not really understand why they need all this rocket science to manage < 500 internal users. One of the new buzzwords I am hearing these days is mostly related to bigdata and machine learning. One of my managers came to me and asked me why dont we integrate our product with hadoop it will solve the performance problems as it can handle lot of data.
I am frustrated by the industry as a whole. I feel industry is simply following marketing trends. Imagine the no. of man-hours are put into investigating technologies and projects dropped mid-way realizing the technology stack is still immature or not suitable for at all.
