As Pete O'Hanlon said, you can. We use the Repository pattern + Unit of Work on the project I'm on right now. While we do use Code First, there is no reason it can't apply to Database First as well. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the purpose of the Repository pattern was designed specifically for Code First. One advantage of using Repo is testing, another is dependency injection. It's simple to test using a Repository, from what I can tell here.

I avoid usage of semantic elements that were introduced in HTML5(like section) (except article, aside) because I mostly work with web apps that are compatible with older browsers (IE8, Atommic 1.0 etc.)

Yes - there are many points to consider before taking a final decision; and the future in his company is also one factor. I agree with you, not fully though with the "rush to judgement" part.
