It's simple. More buzzwords equals more money. So whatever it is you're really doing, just find some way to semi-plausibly attach the latest hot buzzwords to it.
Most of the "dinosaurs" around here should know by now that you don't get paid to do what works; you get paid to do what the boss/customer wants. (And that's not always going to be exactly what they asked for, either.)
As long as you continue to throw money at me, I'll continue to chase your wild geese, hunt your snipes, fish for your red herrings, and joust with your wind turbines. Most of us here can learn fast enough to always stay one or two steps ahead of the boss on whatever topic they might latch on to. And that becomes genuine experience if it somehow manages to graduate past the business fad phase.
