The reason for pronouncing something dead is so the software magpies can move onto the next great thing that moves us no further forward whilst all the time pretending that it’s a major advance.

Of course if you think in terms of design patterns, architecture etc new technologies are just tools but no one wants to hear that…..good grief what would you place on your CV then?

Maybe all the proclamations of industry death is really just the media (or the people who listen to the media too much) finding that there’s nothing newsworthy lately. Give it time; someone will find something to hype about.

Me, I’m just tired of listening it all. Maybe guys like me just want to get our jobs done with the tools at hand, without all the noise.
