Given that I am still coding against Java 17, C# 7, C++17 and such at most work projects, and more recent versions are still the exception, it is quite reasonable.

Few are on jobs where v-latest is always an option.

It’s not about the language. I get bit when they recommend old libraries or hallucinate non-existent ones.

Hallucination is indeed a problem.

As for the libraries, for using more modern libraries, usually it also requires more recent language versions.
