yet another Thing That We All Must Do in this endless technological death march called progress.
I get sick of companies claiming that whatever stupid remix of existing techniques (wow, page prerendering! I had an app like that for my dial-up modem...) is worthy of the kind of "innovation" that we the people love so, and all the extra work, secondary, and tertiary effects that it entails.
An entire generation grows up in the bazaar, and ends up running for the cathedrals sigh
I wonder if it has to do with the age churn in the business.
Meaning that unless you are self-employed, you are basically out of a job by the time you hit your 30s.
And then they bring in some bright eyed grad, or maybe even some self-taught kid from the street, to take over. And he invariably ends up tossing your work out because it is not in a fashionable language, he has only a superficial understanding of all the edge cases embedded over time, and it is an "old" project.
