> As someone who does mostly backend work, within the past decade I've seen the rise of cloud services, non-relational databases, the Hadoop ecosystem, distributed storage systems, containers, the increased use of languages outside of C/C++/Java for systems programming (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, Clojure, Scala), machine learning, and CUDA, among many other technologies that were either nonexistent or were in their infancy in 2010.

You've missed what is maybe the worst offender - kubernetes and microservices.



Kubernetes is not as big as the hype makes it out to be.

Microservices have been around for over a decade. They were called service oriented architecture and instead of REST with JSON they sending XML.


I've got a feeling that in the SOA days the services were just "services", not microservices. I.e. people were not pushing for 200 lines of code microservices, like they do now. For example, I have a team of three devs at work who wrote a backend of around 10 microservices... Total cargo cult.
