Nothing screams "stuck in 2005" quite like those khakis with the excessive cuff roll. The correlation between outdated fashion and outdated tech stacks is practically scientific at this point.

The modern JDK might as well be science fiction when the person signing off on tech upgrades still has a BlackBerry holster somewhere in their desk drawer.
