FOMO in tech is a disease and is working against anyone who wants to tackle hard & important problems. I don't know any other sophisticated/technical industry where trends matter this much, and have this level of impact. We routinely force people to drop what they do and pivot to catch a bus they already missed.

@rakyll Even worse, the bus is generally not a bus, but some kind of pimped-up snake oil salesmen chariot, with spinning rims RGB underbody strips and all, driven by an unapologetic sociopath (but he's obnoxious and has a strong jawline so tech commentators label him "genius"), pulled by a pair of doped up horses on the brink of death.
