I’m quite happy to be seeing conversations about the benefits of simplicity, boring tech, etc lately.

It’s a breath if fresh air from the sadly too common (IMO) flavor of the month new tech promotion.

Sometimes it's hard to disentangle if a conversation is having an upward trending trajectory, or if you just happen to pay attention more to the links that mention some subject you happened to have caught an interest in.

Yeah, I’ve been hearing a lot about the Baader-Meinhof effect recently

Was this intentionally a subtle self-referential joke? Or was that an accident?
