With the speed of technology changes I think it's pretty hard for programmers to get stuck in the exact same rut for 10 years.
Using your example of C#, there has been huge changes in the last 10 years to the point that it's barely the same language.
Even if you imagine the most staid company that refuses to upgrade their tech stack, the last 10 years has seen so many changes in the web and mobile that it's hard to imagine that there hasn't been some pressure on even the most unmotivated programmer to learn new skills.
- JeremyMorgan 12y agoThat's why I mentioned iterative changes, such as the changes to C# over the last 10 years. Just because they started using generics at some point doesn't mean they've been learning anything to drastically improve their code. It's very easy to sit at a company building calendar apps for ten years and fall behind the rest of the world. I see it every day.
