The 90s Called — They Want Their Tech Hype Back

The 90s called — and apparently they’ve still got funding.

AI hype feels brand new—until you’ve lived through the first tech boom like a Gen X woman holding the chaos together while everyone else called it “innovation.”

Back then, the internet was dial-up, the meetings were drunk, and somehow we were the ones keeping it running.

Real talk on startup culture, ego, and déjà vu disguised as progress.

What the 90s tech bros taught me about the current AI gold rush.

How “disruption” became the marketing term for panic.

Why every generation of tech swears it’s different—until it isn’t.

If any of that sounds familiar…welcome back to the simulation.

Drop a comment if you survived the first dot-com bubble too.
