Yes/no. Code is developing faster than standards update:

HTML - HTML 4.0.1 -> HTML5 (14 years)

CSS3 - in development since 1998

JS - ECMAScript 3 (1999) -> ECMAScript 5 (2009) -> ECMAScript 6 (2015...ish http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/)

I think web development is a lot like Perl. It is flexable enough for anyone to write something simple and quick but creating a large maintainable project takes a lot of discipline.

I use a series of linters, style guides and naming conventions to keep from shooting myself in the foot but still will need to go back and clean up from time to time.
