I occasionally wonder if I'm falling

I occasionally wonder if I'm falling behind on software development process stuff, but every time I read a book on the topic it feels like it's rehashing stuff that was pretty settled 40 years ago (and coming to the same recommendations, which, still, nobody's actually implementing).

Which... walking by the movie theater shows that they're rehashing TV shows from 40 years ago, so maybe I'm not falling behind.

I do need to catch up on syntax, but doing that for all of the languages is tiring.
