I believe you just summed up 90% of popular wisdom about software engineering.
With enough patience you will see many fads pass twice like a tide raising and falling. OOP, runtime typing, schema-less databases and TDD are the first to come to mind.
I feel "self-describing" data formats and everything agile are fading already.
Very few ideas stick, but some do: I do not expect GOTO to ever come back, but who knows where vibe coding will lead us :)
