Ask HN: How does a 1990s web developer get back on track?
Here's a semi-controversial opinion: you probably don't need to learn much.<p>You don't need hipster.js to build a website.  You can still build websites that can be used by millions of people using PHP, mysql, and HTML.<p>Lots and lots of people will tell you to learn hipster.js, and will imply that if you aren't using something written by 3 20 year olds in a coffee shop during a hackathon, that you can't get The Scale.<p>But the reality is that people have been getting The Scale with the tools that you already know since you learned them.<p>Here is a relevant blog post: <a href="http://thingist.com/t/item/21434/" rel="nofollow">http://thingist.com/t/item/21434/</a>
