Welcome to IWETHEY!

New The first time I coded for the web it was 3270 all the way down
Handling the browser portion in forms that contained multiple fields and slinging information back and forth to the back end which I also programmed. I commented to the mainframers that this is just like a 3270 terminal working in a mainframe interface. Sure you got fonts and graphics but internally it's pretty much the same.
New MVC as a conceptual description hasn't changed much
It's still just UI, data (model), and the glue between. The only thing changing is where the code for the different pieces is running.

Maybe I'm officially one of the old farts who just doesn't think the new stuff is any good, but I really haven't seen much that's genuinely new. Machine learning and distributed parallel computing are huge, but that's not what most people are working on.

New Mine was kind of similar.
Twenty years ago, when I was a DW consultant at Oracle. A part of the reporting system for a client, kind of a "two-level recursive meta" thing: PL/SQL that generated HTML/JS that, when clicking a link or button to drill down, called other HTML/JS generated by other PL/SQL procedures. Having built similar stuff in Delphi at my previous job, it felt pretty damn stone-age. (And "Visual" Source Safe didn't make that better.)
