The third one resonated with me. I have to resist the urge to recast any new thing I hear about in terms of the original languages I learned 30 years ago C++, Lisp, Fortran, Smalltalk and the OSes at the time VMS, Unix, Windows, OS/2.
I feel like the basic problems we're solving are always the same but the ways we are solving them are always changing and I'm loving the way we're doing things now as much or more as we used to. I think a lot of people in my age group are more resentful or just resisting change.
