It absolutely does. I cannot believe I am reading this on HN... Do you think the idea of a pointer changed? That you need locks when accessing variables when doing multithreading? That principles like "Be conservative in what you send, and liberal in what you accept" have changed? In fact, almost nothing changed from 2005 to now in any conceptual form.
The short answer is that these things don't really exist anymore for most (business) applications when you stopped writing it in C.
So the things you mention indeed is experience you need to get rid of as you move to other software stacks and other technologies.
