2003 is “very old”? I would have expected that description about something like Structured Programming from 1972. Not 2003.

If not in number of years, more so in half-lifes of knowledge [0].

"Very old" is subjective, some people think the Antikythera to be very old.

But when I remember developing software in my startup around 2000, the world of software development was completely different. So, hence, for me, very old.

Software is a pop culture.
