&quot;JavaScript is the same&quot;<p>&quot;What I&#x27;m getting at is, I don&#x27;t know why you need to update anything&quot;<p>Shocking advice. There is a huge amount to learn. Any developer coming from the 1990s needs to re-learn all their technologies or they are going to have a very stressful time delivering anything appealing to users expectations in 2016.<p>&quot;Since the stuff you already know still works, there&#x27;s not much need to use anything else&quot;<p>This kind of mentality leads to becoming deadwood and unemployment. Developers must keep learning especially with the rate of change of technology over the past 5 or so years.
