This is just people's subconsciousness fighting against the rolling progress. It's trying to avoid learning new things and trying to preserve the status quo where you can keep rolling using the already acquired knowledge. It's anti-thetical to being a hacker.

The modern way is to use LLMs to auto generate all this code and do some small corrections in the process. So you wouldn't have to worry about the underlying tech and would only be concerned about the core functionality and actual mechanics of the product rather than being interested and spending efforts on memorization of the specific instructions for the machine. The whole evolution of the programming languages is a process in that direction and new technologies that were embraced by the newer generation like React and Vue.js is the way to go. You can't run geosites forever.
