Wait till you hear about Typescript, you know adding types to ECMAScript, like Macromedia did some 20 years ago. :)

Being in the industry for 20+ years and starting as a teenager making games in Flash it makes really hard for me to treat webdev seriously with all their revolutionary innovations.

At work I often encounter a resistance to a tech or solution I propose, because "there hasen't been any substational contribution to the repository in a week, seems dead to me". To which I kindly respond with a question - how do you calculate hypotenuse, because it's been a long time since Pythagoras made the last commit. Meanwhile, some of my friends are still doing side jobs using CakePHP, 20 years later. :)

Unless you are ready to maintain the product for the long term, proposing to use new tech is just resume development.

A few gigs ago I joined a BigCo as a part of contractor group to build a new project. The BigCo had a staff member to bootstrap the project and build a prototype which was internally reviewed and approved. When we put our foots on the ground it was already settled that the app will be build with X, Y and Z as the core components.

Two months later that staff member left the BigCo for another organization, and when we found the actual job posting for his position the X, Y and Z were explicitly stated as nice to have for a candidate.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
