This field (software) in general, and especially web stuff, has no memory. It’s a cascade of teens and twentysomethings rediscovering the same paradigms over and over again with different names.

I think we are overdue for a rediscovery of object oriented programming and OOP design patterns but it will be called something else. We just got through an era of rediscovering the mainframe and calling it “cloud native.”

Every now and then you do get a new thing like LLMs and diffusion models.
