You&#x27;re not too old. The new frameworks just don&#x27;t make much sense. You don&#x27;t need any of them to write applications. They just bloat everything, create additional dependencies and don&#x27;t help you much. You spend all your time figuring out how to do things limited by frameworks&#x27;s scope rather than getting things done. You can generally write 90% of what you&#x27;ll need from any framework in 90 lines of code and create nice abstractions yourself. Don&#x27;t use frameworks and don&#x27;t let the peer pressure get you sucked into this nightmare what frameworks are.
