It’s like they are either getting old and don’t like to keep up with modern web development but it’s easy to see this behavior elsewhere too.

Aversion towards new way of doing things where people feel like the old way was just working is too common and predictable sometimes. “Things work” using old way, but, does that mean that no optimizations are to be made? Optimizations further lead to reiteration of the way we do things.

Also, an individual can stick to their old way of doing things but to rant over the new way is just- tasteless.

Young developer thing all motion is progress. Old developers know most is not, but the trap at the other end of the continuum is thinking no motion is progress.

There’s always a little progress, sometimes quite a bit. But a lot of the res5 is cycling between two options that both have very bad corner cases.
