Here are some things which are now industry standards that were not when I started:
* Source Control (srsly)
* Test-driven Development
* Continuous Integration
* Monitoring/Observability
* Online database schema migration
* Distributed Source Control
* Infrastructure as Code
* "Cloud"
* Continuous Delivery
* Data Engineering
* Backups
('kay that last one is a joke, maybe in the next 20 years we'll get that one right.)
Director of Engineering, free and open source developer, and generally tall guy
