I definitely get the sense that industry has only accelerated its churn rate over time. Just looking at what's happening to Javascript in the past year or two gives me butterflies in my stomach: There is attractive stuff and necessary stuff, and it's only getting harder to tell the two apart. While I wouldn't say that everything about old-school coding is great, it encouraged a first-principles engineering process - checklists, printouts, technical docs, etc. - that is eschewed today in favor of looking up some framework and fumbling your way through to half-understand what's going on and leaning on the toolchain(which you also don't understand) to give you some reassurance that it isn't completely broken. This is discouraging for _everyone_, not just learners.
