In the world of traditional engineering, you will still encounter senior PE's that pump out Fortran. Luckily, it usually isn't fixed form.
Also revisiting older projects can also mean visiting Fortran, and sometimes that can be fixed form (looking at you, wind hazard modelling of tornadic winds for nuclear powerplants).

Young engineers gather around him just to marvel at this masterpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DTpQ4Kk2wA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DTpQ4Kk2wA
