The frustrating thing is that it leaves no space for cultural memory and leaves the impression of a great deal of fatigue.

In reality, it is neither true that "all problems were solved in the 80s" nor that "it's a new paradigm!". The truth is more boring.

People are working on refining good ideas whose origin is often old, but which have problems that need solving.

Sometimes the problems are contextual (latency requirements on the web differ from smalltalk images)

But in general "I have made an improvement to a good idea" isn't sexy. Certainly isn't worthy of the geniuses at worshipped major companies.

We'd rather believe that Facebook has invented a new paradigm than they made a good refinement to ideas that we're working poorly for them.

Agree with your larger point. But, react was originally pitched (incorrectly, IMO) as the "V" in MVC. So can't really blame fb for this one

refinement to your good argument: consider the audience. For many, react WAS a paradigm shift & the hype was folks sharing experiences

Yes yes yes. Paradigm shift for me != Industry wide paradigm shift. They get confused.
