      This reminds me of a great Norm Macdonald joke. You can see the punchline coming from a mile off, but the delivery of that cackle made it 100x better

      Hazel's Attorney: "I demand that this case be dismissed, as there is no possibility of guilt. As proof, I submit Exhibit A- Hazel's (adorable) face. There is no way she could have committed this crime, and is clearly being framed."
      Prosecutor: "True..."
      Judge: "Case dismissed. With prejudice."

      The “move fast, break things” ethos that consumed tech did more harm than good. Too many companies used it as an excuse to drive quantity over quality resulting in so much mid software. 
      
      Then again it was more about extracting value from users than providing value to them.

      however i also suspect a lot of hype is from people who don’t know what high quality software looks like
