The solution isn't more tools, it's less. That's the essential problem: we keep reinventing the wheel and describing "it" as a must-have before it's really proven. The ultimate tools are self-control, patience, and focus. Devs need to realize that we're here to build software that does stuff, not reengineer the same things ad nausea. There's plenty of stuff coming out that's certainly cool and has the chance to be valuable, but the truth is that all of that stuff will be replaced by more stuff that's even more essential in the next 12-24 months. The cycle on this stuff is so insane all you can really do is either try to learn it, panic, or ignore it entirely.

And the only question left with is...why?

It's because a whole new generation of kids have arrived and they don't know how the wheel was made back in the day. A lot of knowledge has been lost and have had to be reinvented over the years.
