Yeah I feel old too.

That behind said, I don’t think a modern drawing tool is inherently less capable than an older one to produce magic. Digital painting used to have limitations in comparison with traditional technics, but a good 2d illustrator can do gorgeous drawings with a tablet nowadays.

When I see magic in animated movies, its when people do things by love and passions, and not for seeking additional profit. Flow and Arcane are examples of animation with such ingredients.

I’ve seen code in my workplace using parseInt to round JS Number. Made me cringe coming from system programing but I didn’t see the danger.

It’s sad the only way to prevent such a bad code in production is to use transpilers.
