Same with "MLOps" tools... same with every niche, bunch of useless tools just trying to grab some market.

But this is not a recent thing, every time the current thing gets flooded with crap ideas competing for some market share (ie longtail theory).

Sometimes the old ideas are just rebuilt, nocode is just RAD with different branding, event sourcing is just ESB, microservices is basically SOA...

What is scary that actually very little is being created, and a huge amount of crap just resuscitates from old tech, or is a skewed version of some working technology which tries to make it different so it doesn't look like a complete ripoff.

I love terminals, but honestly there isn't much to improve there IMHO is already good, I admire those who try and honest people who try to get a good idea into the market, I despise completely people trying to push any random hello world as a product which is basically a spyware full of trackers.

I like the part " _microservices is basically SOA_ " , want to say that loud so many times myself :)
I'd like to know more of this *microservice band that is basically SoaD
> event sourcing is just ESB, microservices is basically SOA...

Event sourcing is a persistence model, an ESB is about distribution.

Microservices are an implementation of the 4+1 architectural view model where at least three of the views are identical.

You’re not wrong about spyware though.

I don’t know, what about snowflake (for example). Before they launched you could argue it’s not needed; now, it’s got customers and is publicly traded. Hard to tell.
