Aside: I've been programming for... 35 years or so by my reckoning, but I can't recall ever hearing the term "greenfield project" before this year, and now it's seemingly everywhere. What's up with that? What happened to just... making new things? | ||

I've used the term "greenfield development" for 10 years and I'm not even a native speaker. Though I have been on this site longer than that, so I might have picked that up by osmosis. | ||

Been around programming for ~20 years, professionally engineering for 13 of them, and I think I first heard the term (and have heard it consistently since then) at least a decade ago. Rejoice! You are one of today's Lucky 10,000[0]! | ||

It's probably the circles you are around. The term has been around for a long time. | ||

Wait til you learn about "brownfield" projects, which apparently is also a thing! (It's the opposite of greenfield) | ||
