No more Buzz words...It's Buzz sentence
It's not new for the software industry to be lead by the industry buzz words and hypes like SOA, EDI,ERP,CRM etc. Popular blogs, gartner reports and well marketed products usually contributed to these hypes. Though most of these hyped words proved good for us most of the times, still many developers usually followed them because of the hype, rather than the actual goodness of the product or technology.
Though this still contunues...but for the past few months, i am seeing a slightly new trend. [I should be saying i see an anti-pattern;)]
I am seeing that more than buzz words, buzz sentence or buzz thoughts are getting hyped up.
Two popular statements that i have been hearing a lot are 'AJAX is a hype and is not new' and 'Do no use SOA eveywhere for the sake of SOA'.
I am not now trying to analyse these two statements, if they are right or wrong.
But, what's funny here is even a developer who does not know the fullform of AJAX, knows that 'AJAX is a hype'. The statement 'AJAX is a hype' has become more popular than AJAX itself:) Someone if asks a developer, do u know AJAX, he says 'i do not know AJAX, but i heard it's hype'
And same thing with poor SOA as well. These days whereever i go, people are demystifying SOA. I wonder who mystified it in the first place;) (the same guys who are demystifying it now)
Anyways, all for good:)
