Don't underestimate how hard it can be for developers to accept this. The hacker community can become a tedious game of one-upsmanship at times, and it's way too easy to slip into "imposter syndrome" mode. Often, the people barking loudest about the newest ideas have slipped themselves, and are just trying not to appear clueless.
But cluelessness is fine. It's the default state of being, we all need to be comfortable (if not satisfied) with it.
I don't want to suggest that Martin Fowler is clueless, of course. He has described many prudent battle-tested techniques that can be absolutely essential in context. If you haven't seen his article on Collection Pipelines, it's relevant to all kinds of modern programming: https://martinfowler.com/articles/collection-pipeline/ https://martinfowler.com/articles/collection-pipeline/
