It's not just your tech stack in the narrow sense, your software also can't talk to anything that changes: no browser, no third party service. Systems are rarel

  Ah, right, I haven't had a regular webdev job. But then that is because your job is to glue together different services rather than implement a complex chunk of code. Most of the jobs I've had were me implementing a lot of low level complex chunks or doing the architecture to make those chunks easy to write, for example when writing the runtime of a ML framework. So it isn't that the time changed, the old jobs where you code still exists. But we added millions of glue code jobs on top of that, and that changed how people view software development. But it is field specific, even if webdev is the most common you can still work in any of the many other areas where the rules are different. Edit: And yes, gluing together components is ridiculously hard. It is just hard in a different way, your job then becomes to learn about new things as quickly as possible so you can properly glue them together rather than trying to think about what code to write. That isn't easy at all.
