Software Developer Like a Caveman

- Haven't read any new proposals since 2014 - Not implemented regularly in the last year or two - The basics learnt 17 years ago are still pretty much all I need to get the desired results - The new fancy extensions are only used when people are watching

A tweet lists habits that make someone sound like an outdated but effective software developer: they have not read new proposals, rarely implement modern techniques, rely on basics learned 17 years ago, and only use fancy extensions for appearances. The joke is a self-deprecating reaction to programmers who keep using old fundamentals while pretending to follow new trends.
