There’s a growing problem in the IT world: a massive flattening of content.
Especially on LinkedIn, I keep seeing posts like:
“The 10 best books to become an architect”.
“The 10 newsletters you must subscribe to about topic X”.
The truth? Most of these lists don’t add much value.
Ten different books on software architecture are unlikely to say truly different things. And honestly, who has the time to read ten different newsletters every week?
It feels like our industry is turning into the Netflix of content: you have to read book X, subscribe to Alice & Bob’s newsletter… or you’re not “cool.”
I’d love to see more posts that break away from the mainstream. Content that brings fresh ideas, original insights, and new perspectives.
Instead of being the world of innovation, we risk becoming the world of homogenization.
