<p>I sometimes fear that there is some deep set cultural drive in this industry to run from its problems instead of solving them, to genuflect to novelty rather than engage with the failures of the present. To rewrite code instead of fixing it, to adopt weird new ceremonies instead of understanding the details of the present. To throw it all out and start over, believing you’ve learned from the last iteration without really interrogating it. It smells of a sort of hyperactive nihilism.</p>
