Gregory's ServerFOMO 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 I had this happen to me recently when I decided to show the Android developer community how I build small and fast Android apps. It broke many people's logic because "your code is so simple and straightforward, really refreshing" but "you aren't using the best practices which means it's an unmaintainable mess in case a team of 50 developers (49 of them junior) needs to work on it".
