Not in the work force anymore but these accounts remind me of other influences that were foisted on me and my coworkers over the span of my software career. A couple I remember by name were Agile and Yourdon Structured Design, but there were a bunch more.
In the old days somebody in management would attend a seminar or get a sales presentation or something and come back with a new "methodology" we were supposed to use. It typically took the form of a stack of binders full of documentation, and was always going to make our productivity "skyrocket". We would either follow some rigorous process or just go through the motions, or something in between, and in say 6 months to a year the manager would have either left the company or forgotten all about it.
It sounds like today's managers are cut from about the same mold as always, and AI is yet another shiny object being dangled in front of them.
