I still 100% stand by this statement. It looks like others are starting to come around to this too lately.

Crypto isn’t useful for what it was created for and little else, AI is a big joke and 99% hype. Can we get away from these wastes of time/money/energy/environment and get back to the regular work of solving business problems and incremental improvement.

Three men sit at a table. At left, a destitute man sits with no plate. At right, a working man sits with a plate containing one cookie, listening to the man in the center. Sitting in the center is an old man in a business suit (looking suspiciously like right-wing media tycoon Rupert Murdoch) who is pointing at the destitute man, while speaking to the working man, saying: "Careful Mate... that foreigner wants your cookie!" Sitting in front of the man at center is his own plate, which contains MANY MANY COOKIES.

mvn buildplan:list-phase

You will get a nice list of plugins/goals and in which phase they are running.
