I won't say anything as to what is good progress vs. reinventing the wheel. For the purpose of this discussion, I don't think it matters much; if employers expect you to code using React/Angular/Bootstrap/whatever, it doesn't matter if you think those are inherently good progress on previous tech or not. And there are definitely software devs working in fields that change more slowly. But if you take web development as we frequently do around here, e.g. the joke article posted yesterday about "Hello world" in PHP does provide some good examples of stuff that's changed dramatically in the last five years. https://kukuruku.co/post/hello-real-world-in-php-in-2017/ https://kukuruku.co/post/hello-real-world-in-php-in-2017/
