Indeed.Well, unless you want to go back to autoformer dimmers, there's always a couple of microprocessors involved.
Even the dimmer in question here has what is probably the start of widespread MCUs in lighting - the 8051. Which puts its design in the early nineties* - that's the beginning of my career.
* I checked: The schematic is dated 1991.
