How "out of date" is Debian really? (programming.dev)

Is we that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

When your use case relies on using some most up to date software, then Debian (stable) obviously is not the distro of choice. But that case is not what I meant with 'simply work', i.e. using the same (major) version of software for several years.
