Weird flex or whatever dude. But all I’m hearing is that your anxiety has led you to a) refuse to look into a new piece of technology, b) hold incorrect views on it (like that it’s only useful for boilerplate code), c) look down on those that ARE using it, and d) pose that your incredible experience is why this wouldn’t be useful to you.

If you can’t find your drive to look at new things enough to even see if they’re worth digging more into, which you seemingly haven’t, then I think this speaks poorly of you as a developer.
