  Bravo.  But unfortunately this is not a common attitude today.  With
"these kids today", if it's old, it can't possibly be of any use, and
if it's not new, it's old.

  An app developer working for one of my clients thought he was a real
hotshot.  One day in a conversation he gave me a cocky grin and
proudly said he won't touch a library if it hasn't seen code commits
in the past month or so.

  He doesn't work there anymore.
