Yes. Our work has very much become a cycle of endlessly learning new ways to do the same things. That's why I wouldn't want to be a frontend dev, because in that field it's the worst. Endless new buzzwords and "new" abstractions for very simple things. You want a button on the website? We had a solution for that. It was the <button> tag. Now there are apparently 50 better solutions.

@atift5465 Companies certainly do that, but they have an organizational rather than a technical reason. If they wouldn't do that, it would become harder and harder to hire new employees. That's why some of the best paying programming jobs are at banks and in the aviation industry. Our economy and lives depend on those, so it's safe to say that technically their software works pretty darn well. But that's not why those jobs are paying well. That's because they both use old technology that hardly anyone knows anymore; Fortran in the banking industry, and Ada in the aviation.
