The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!
The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!
The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!
The next big thing is moving everything to AI!
Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!
But the cloud thing and the container thing actually happened. Not 100%, but it is basically the standard these days.
Of the things you mentioned, only crypto is mostly bullshit tech with no actual use.
Not all companies NEED cloud and containers. But execs push it anyway. That’s my point. As I said, they have actual use, but not EVERYONE NEEDS this shit. It’s just tech-bros telling us we need it and execs being too stupid to know otherwise.
They don’t NEED it, sure. But it sure makes life a lot easier. It makes the software easier to maintain and scale.
It’s cool guys, I asked ChatGPT and it said:
The term “AI bubble” suggests a speculative frenzy similar to previous bubbles in tech. While there’s certainly a lot of excitement and investment in AI, it’s unlikely to cause an economic crash on its own. However, if promises aren’t met and investments don’t yield expected returns, there could be adjustments in the market. AI’s impact is profound, but its realization takes time and nuanced understanding.
So we just might see an “adjustment”, no way this is a bubble.
Of course ChatGPT would say that!
