Not just techbro/hipsters: programmers have huge egos, when in reality they are just mediocre tradesmen. Like your typical construction worker. There are 10,000 hammer swingers for every architect, but those 10,000 think they are all in the top-10. So we end up with egos and factions creating a tidal wave of mediocre tools, each with just enough fan base to grow large enough to be cancerous. Too few architects with experience at the helm (and trained by the old guard), unfortunately, is the problem.
