You must be new here. This same attitude permeates all of tech, especially SV, where folks constantly tout their non-accomplishments publicly. Every idiot is giving advice because every idiot is looking for some.

And there are a whole lotta idiots in SV smelling their own farts.

I agree 100%.

If only the news article/stories followed up what they had touted after two-years it would make a good journalistic report. Or even trying to balance the article by acknowledging the drawbacks of the the system they are advancing.

I like to read articles that debunk the previous hypes and put a retrospective article detailing what went wrong.

For e.g. MOOCs were touted as game changing to the online education and after years, it hasn't really 'disrupted' anything.
