...and, continuing the cycle next season, devs will (re)discover NoSQL and document DBMS. I do wonder if this phenomenon of trendy tech is somehow integral to advancing the state of the industry, the SWE equivalent of early adopters. "Rediscovering the old" is a side effect, as old tech is used and reinterpreted in new ways. Kind of neat, really.
