I've been mainly working in web development since 2009 (before that I did it sometimes but also lots of standards work and data handling), so in that field I have seen a lot of commonly accepted software engineering best practices in use, but those commonly accepted software engineering best practices were not necessarily the commonly accepted software engineering best practices of the modern day, but rather of the day that the code was written.

That's a very interesting insight. Thanks!
