Nice post. A bit nostalgic but we all need a meme to get readers interested. In the OP&#x27;s case its &quot;I&#x27;m getting older, but I still love what I&#x27;m doing. Come join me!&quot;.<p>What I do when a new tech hype comes along, is allocate myself some time to it. Ok, Webpack? Let me give myself three days (around 20 hours) to check it out. If I don&#x27;t understand it at first, keep pushing. If after 20 hours, I still don&#x27;t get it, abandon it and move on.<p>Of course, 20 hours is just an estimate. If after a day, I feel like some magic has taken place (like what Backbone.js did to me), I&#x27;m hooked.<p>And yes, definitely gravitate towards a galaxy. Sometimes galaxies do merge and you will reap the benefits :)<p>I&#x27;m 38, programming for 15 years. And I still love coding and doing systems stuff.
