> what technology in the past 5 years do you use [...]

I don't use any software made in the past 5 years.

I think software has improved in the last 20 years.

  - Linux container runtimes
  - Linux hardware support
  - NixOS (19.5 years old!)

My terminal has more colors. My browser got slower.

My vi became vim became neovim. The keybindings are almost the same, but they adapt to newer virtual terminals.

As a programmer, my ability to express myself has got more nuanced. Programming languages have got better.

But the software itself doesn't seem to be better. Everything still depends on C, and the older programs live the longest.
