I'm with you there man (or lady)...the pace of "new and shiny" is exhausting.

One of the things I like about our environment is that we're always disrupting ourselves (maybe a little too much). So while it's true that there are many heavy weight DI tools (Castle.Windsor for ex), there are also lighter-weight ones (Ninject and co). At the end of the day, we each pick our heavy we want our tools to be (we can always implement IOC without a DI tool if you want to keep things bare boned).

It's an interesting discussion for sure. And some of it is philosophical. When the "rubber hits the road" (or whatever saying works) and i'm stuck in the office at 2am trying refactor a ball of mud, I wish those who came before me had thought of this stuff.

Engineering. Not Programming.

I find it extra funny when "new and shiny" is actually a 30 years old idea in a new spin. (Reactive programming haha.)
