But there s also the tendency we all had as juniors to try to push new things we're closer to, rather than try and accept the "old" technology often working just as well while being much simpler.
Not always the case, but when you see people pushing heavy, runtime-script languages full of ambiguity to modernize an old simple compiled code base, it's hard to do the wait and see and show 2 years later to the juniors: "see your lombok spring thing is now absolutely unmaintanable when all it does is 3 multiplications"
It s often a balance since nobody likes change, junior like senior, and often both sides have their crap.
