Technical journalism-a new crap

Technical journalism is the new bull shit that is slowly taking on sanity. I see articles like "6 technologies you should learn this year", "hot technologies for job sector" blah blah on LinkedIN(the cool social networking site that has made celebrities out of programmers) ...It's so strange that Hype created is so powerful that most normal people starting reacting to it...the cult words that's gonna rule for another 3-4 years are "Big Data", "Hadoop", "Cassandra" and the like...you have it in your resume these crazy software recruiters would run to you...you don't have it in your resume you are off the market...infact the actual insane ppl are in the industry who believe knowing a bunch of technologies makes a good developer rather than core competency and common sense...
The whole thing of learning super cool technologies to please recruiters is an unending process and needs a serious reality check. The marketers thrive on hype...they would continue to create new ones...........
