I haven't seen the term "AJAX" used in years. Very bad sign both for the project and people mentioning it.

Using a term is not a bad sign.

It means your knowledge is likely quite dated.

AJAX literally is "async request from the client to the server".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)#Technologie... XML (the X in AJAX) is not even necessary as JSON came in.

Any React/Vue/Angular/... client application using `fetch` to make a request, is making an AJAX request. Just because you haven't seen the term in a long time does not mean it is outdated.
