How long is "new" new anyway

Quick hint and a reminder for myself:
In programming, try not to prefix things with "new".
"New" usually doesn't stay new for very long :). It becomes especially problematic when you introduce the new stuff for the 2nd time. At that point, you have a choice of living with the OLD stuff prefixed with a "new" word and figuring out how to name the new new stuff or having to refactor a bunch of names just to avoid the confusion.
End of story. Bye, bye 🙃
