AI, block chain, rust, go, serverless, nosql, ruby on rails..... The list goes on and on :-)

Some of it gets really annoying on the business side, because companies like Gartner jump on the trends, and they have enough influence that businesses have to pay attention. When serverless was a thing, every cloud provider effectively had to add serverless things even if it made zero sense and no customers were asking for it, simply to satisfy Gartner (and their ilk) and be seen as innovating and ahead of the curve. Same thing happened with block chain, and is currently happening with AI.

wheels get reinvented again again again and again … this is quite unique to info tech … imagine mathematicians do the same, the world would be in chaos …

And yet, it took us (humans) a long time to turn the wheel around and using it for transportation, so maybe we need reinvent even more things, turn them around and such :)
