Debatable. Just as people, some software ages badly. Heck, sometimes it's just born old :-)

It's just that the javascript language, frameworks and ecosystems have seen massive changes over the last couple of years. C for example hasn't seen this change. So yeah, C code from 5 years ago would look the same if written today, while javascript of just 2 year old might seem outdated.
