English Language & Usage Asked by Ahmad Mayahi on February 23, 2021
I was reading one of my old posts and I came across the following sentence:
During my career as a web developer, I encountered many conservative developers.
Is it valid to say: "conservative developer" in English?
I mean the developer who’s afraid of sudden or great changes. If not, what is the alternative term then?
A traditionalist is a person who supports the established customs and beliefs of his or her society or group, and does not want to change them.
You could say "conservative", but it may wrongly imply a political association.
Another option: orthodox
Orthodox—following or conforming to the traditional or generally accepted rules or beliefs of a religion, philosophy, or practice.
