There is very definitely a difference between programming in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and now .. in the 'new millennium'. Except, there really isn't. You still need to pay attention to the state of the stack, whether its the memory kind, or HipNewTechDeJeur™ kind. I don't think a lot of new developers learn these things, though. Or else there really wouldn't be a need to describe "full stack developers". In the good ol' days, it was pretty important to know the context of your heap/stack usage - it still is. (That's the point.)
