That is what I was thinking, too. Hell, we had iPhones well before 2010. There hasn't been any kind of tectonic shift in technology since 2010, just mild evolution. Outside of a few specific areas (web frameworks, anyone?), skills from 2010 should still be very applicable today.
Now, if the author was arguing that it's a mindfuck to be incarcerated for 10 years and it makes him feel out of place, and his mindset is no longer really tuned towards technology, that I could totally believe. Just going to boot camp for a couple months does the same thing, takes a few days to reattach to 'normal' after that. 10 years in jail would take a bit longer to adjust from, no doubt.
- Terretta 6y agoIn Information Technology, I’d agree as well. From ‘93 to ‘03 Internet tech got industrialized, commoditized, commercialized. After an ‘03 to ‘08 consolidation phase, from ‘08 to ‘13 it got packetized and packaged by CSPs of varying degrees of specialization or verticality. Disruptive startup or OSS changes in last few years often emerge from lessons learned in those CSPs in mid 00s. Then this last decade has been spent on figuring out how to “declare” that infotech stack of lego bricks and wire it together. We could get to a consensus way to wire bricks and flows by ‘23 — more likely on bricks, less likely on flows.

You and I can see that forest. To the author, there are only trees. I think that's pretty understandable given the context.
