Hey, I’m 40! And I’ve personally seen very little of this in my little bubble. I’m usually applying for rails jobs which, in these terms, is an “old person’s framework” at this point. While being proficient in what would be considered an “old person’s framework” under the terms of this article has actually made things quite easy in my case (there are _tons_ of rails positions out there) I also don’t think it’s unreasonable to be expected to learn at least _some_ of those durned new technologies that keep popping up—-I feel like we should have known that’s what we signed up for when getting into this industry.

Of course, I’m well aware I’m speaking purely im the context of a web app developer.
