It's been happening for a decade and I've learned to ignore it.

Cloud for this cloud for that! Blockchain for this blockchain for that! Big Data for this, big data for that! Web scale all the things!

The marketing driven development is exhausting and has done nothing to improve technology. This happened because of 0% interest rates and free money. People have been vying for all the VC money by creation solutions looking for problems, which end up being useless solutions for which no problems exist

100% this. This is marketing to the highest level. Heck, look at MS now. They knew this was the opportunity to associate bing to the hype and with Google making a mistake with its "infamous" video, they won round 1.

Let's wait until the end of the year and see how much will this wave will hold up.
