It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Cloud. Businesses went all in on cloud under this illusion of stable costs, but costs go up and contol/support have gone down, and I'm seeing businesses spin on-prem back up.

I totally agree...the best solution for the specific problem. "Cloud" was the buzzword solution to every problem for a few years and it wasn't great in a lot of cases. High I/O home grown apps to be used from a single campus don't need to be in the cloud. Bulk archive storage doesn't need to be in the cloud, things like lecture recordings from 10+ years.
