I think software development misses a "doctrine". It is very hard to develop robust maintainable software while trying to chase the latest fad (edit: under constant pressure to deliver new functionality).

I have known this as a junior, never really getting to know a technology before hopping to the next one, and I am still having to deal with this now that I have a bit more experience, trying to convince my colleagues not to be so quick to dismiss the modern for the newer.

Sometimes I feel like I do not know what we are doing although being one of the senior members of the team. Stuff quickly snowballs into mud... It's like there is not enough effort or time to deliver functionality while also staving off entropy
