The curse of being an experienced developer is watching good things go away, and then get re-invented and everyone hails them as a major innovation without any awareness that this has existed for a long time.

Someone will steal the good ideas eventually. And everyone will act like it’s the first time this idea has ever come up. I’ve seen it happen a few times now, and each time it makes me feel ancient.

It's happening for me too often the older I get. I remember reading the seniors of my days complaining about it. I guess it's my turn now...

As a side effect this reminds me how much I must not know what I don't know. It's a bit scary.
