"It happened all of a sudden, and everyone now wants to be a part of it. Even the companies that have years of experience in the virtualization world failed to capitalize on this movement that doesn't seem to have a clear starting point"
I am becoming skeptical of the tech media and its role in driving the tech industry, especially the software aspect of it. Every technology or tool that we use, every meetup or conference that we go to is driven underneath with an agenda to sell the product, and not necessarily help engineers work.
I see no point in studying any technology, tooling than the toolings my organizations use because all these new tech is in someway linked to drive adoption of companies driving those technology and not necessarily improve the industry in general.
This is a cause of concern for me, because if the software that I'm using and promoting is low-key being used to drive someone's agenda, that I'm becoming part of that hidden-agenda too. It feels these organization are using us engineers as a medium to promote and drive their idea and it is eating me alive.
What does the HN community this about this? And how should I articulate this problem?
