| This is lacking a whole lot of nuance. The things I've learned about the JVM in the 2000's are still mostly true, perhaps with a bit of tweaking. The things I've learned about process, project management, some distilled concepts around refactoring, testing - all still very valuable and as true as when I learned them. Perhaps not the specific tools, but the concepts are valuable. Learning C decades ago still has lots of value. Not to mention SQL - come on. Learn that cool JS tech stack a few years back? Yeah, it's probably dead or radically changed. That integration with Company X? Same. So clearly there's some distinction to be made here. People are still programming in FORTRAN in some niches. You can decide to invest in boring and stable approaches, or live on the bleeding edge relying on someone's weekend vibe code session. "courtesy of Harvard Business Review" - there's your problem. Don't look to some MBAs to give you nuanced tech insight. The author of this article: "Harald Agterhuis" is just some recruiter. Of course he's got an incentive to push this BS. My recommendation?
