Am I getting old ? Seems obvious to me.

Yes, you are old.

I meet an unexpected number of young devs that:

- Find hypermedia to be exotic. JSON web API is the only way that makes sense to them.

- Say they use the cloud to "save money".

- Use third-party services for things as basic as authentication because "it's hard".

- Encode security stuff in the frontend code.

It's the cycle of life.

Damn... looks like my job is secured for another 25 years.
