Feeling an old techie

I was thinking about that feeling lately. It seems that I can not follow the wave out there, there are many things escaping from my comprehension due lack of time. Starting to talk about anything not related to my day-by-day is starting to feeling myself out of date.

Last days I could get some short time to read about a couple of topics - frontend related this time - and I felt like I was using cobol (nothing against cobol here). It's a fact you can not focus in every new brilliant and recently released piece of technology, but it's like there was an interestellar space between what I thought it was the right way and recent developments or best practices.

Probably have to go back to the old habit of taking Friday afternoons (or any other shift) as research & development. Would be great.
