React and Docker are both almost a decade old (both released in 2013). TypeScript is from 2012. Functional programming is very, very far from being a modern concept even if it's (maybe, finally?) getting a bit more attention.

Cassandra and MongoDB are nearly 15 years old. Serverless and Kubernetes are nearly a decade old.

My point is that what often gets criticised as "new tech" is actually quite old. Hence the stupidity of that argument.

So interesting seeing these perspectives on here.

I’m in the same boat as previous commenter - React et al feels like new tech to me.

But that’s because I’m an old fart who’s been using php for over 20 years.

So react's existed for almost half the time you've been using php. I think yhr distinction here is between tech that's new, and tech that's new for you
