I am, as they says about Unix: Always changing, yet never changing. I'm still using much of my original stack. The trick is not to chase fads and focus instead on core skills and technologies. I've been using a Unix-like operating system since my first contact with SunOS, I've been developing in Python since version 1.x, C since Borland ruled the DOS world, JavaScript since it first appeared in Netscape 2.0 and Java since I saw the first applet (Java 1.2, perhaps?), PostgreSQL since, I dunno, whatever version shipped with Red Hat 5.0. Of course I reserve the right not to mention my previous experience with Delphi, TCL, Symbian, J2ME, or (increasingly) Perl, if it suits me. Selectively forgetting no longer relevant technologies is a very useful workaround.
