The common thread in each of these, it seems to me, is that “we are being paid to Write Code, therefore let us Write Code constantly.” Let’s go from Something We Can Release to Something Else We Can Release every few hours.

I think you are witnessing the current Tech Bubble, wherein all the overpaid, over-hyped, under-worked programmers are desparately trying to justify their jobs.

It also has some connection to Wall Street, where traders are desparate to find an industry wherein they can blow big bubbles.

Did you get zucked by Facebook's IPO? :-)
