Why does it seem like there is so much "fad-like appeal" even in the rungs of upper management at large companies. You see it now with AI. Diverting of resources away from projects that, only a few years ago, were yielding good results and could benefit from a refresh now. As recently as 2022, Amazon was giving away very nice AWS promotional credits for skills, and there are some very good ones. You see it with Google's new buildings. Stopping construction after a bad quarter?
