Nothing has changed. It is still programming. You take some input, you manipulate it and then you do something with the output.

How you do that comes down to mostly a matter of preference with a smattering of "engineering".

In my humble opinion, frameworks and mostly hotshot languages are akin to celebrities. If I asked hey I was away for 10 years spending time in remote island and just came back to LA what changed ? Nothing changes in the main business. We’ve got few celebs come and go Toby Maguire, Lin-Manuel Miranda aka React. They still need to bring back Ahnold for Terminator (looking at you C) or Tom Cruise for MI (looking at you C++). The industry is the same, you need inputs film money and people to generate outputs that people enjoy.

I always thought of C++ as Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise is way too simple for the role!

Pretty much. The cool kids have their heads in the clouds, but still can't be bothered with correctness, reliability, debuggability, etc.

Nothing new under the sun.
