Here, here.
I had one person advocate for a new, shiny piece of software by telling me that what we were using was "too old", because it was from 2012. This was the sum of his technical argument. No actual pros and cons, just an assertion that what we were using was "too old". The conversation took place in 2019. It was not a date dependent issue.
Worse, what he was calling "too old" I didn't actually get to start using until 2014. I've been doing systems stuff since 1999. He essentially called my entire career obsolete because 90% of what I know was invented before 2019.
