I sometimes feel like the guy you describe (although perhaps because I do indicates that I am not?)<p>I have a webapp that I maintain for a family member written, by me, in 2005.  It was using WebWork (which became Struts 2) and still is, and I am trying to move it to something more modern in bits and pieces.  But it&#x27;s requiring me to learn a lot, which I am trying to do in the limited time I have.<p>At my work we do way more modern thing, but so much so that I&#x27;m not able to do any UI stuff since they use tech I&#x27;m not &quot;hit the ground running&quot; capable of doing.  But I&#x27;m trying.<p>I hope I&#x27;m not abrasive however.
