Rewriting Everything
Indiana Jones reaching for the golden idol of a perfectly working project, ready to swap it with "REWRITE IT IN RUST" because some tech bro on Twitter said JavaScript is for peasants. The project works flawlessly, users are happy, deadlines are met—but NO, it must be rewritten in the flavor-of-the-month language because *performance* and *memory safety* or whatever excuse we're using today to justify starting from scratch.

What Tool Or Service Do You Feel Like This About?
You know that one tool everyone keeps raving about at every tech conference and on Twitter, but when you actually use it, you realize it's just... okay? Yeah, that's the vibe here. The massive quality bar versus the tiny hype cube is basically every developer's experience with 90% of "revolutionary" frameworks and services. Looking at you, every JavaScript framework that promises to solve all your problems but just adds three more build steps. Or that new cloud service with a landing page full of buzzwords but documentation that makes you question reality. The ratio of actual substance to marketing noise is hilariously skewed. Meanwhile, the truly solid tools that actually work? They're quietly sitting there with minimal fanfare, doing their job without a multi-million dollar marketing budget. Boring is beautiful when it doesn't break your production at 3 AM.
