This whole post was great except for the first sentence. I'm getting old and I feel overwhelmed by the creep of "stuff" that I need to know. For me, it used to be UNIX + C + bash shell was enough to survive. My only defence is to write a small Wiki page for each category of "stuff". After a year on the job, I have built an organic encyclopedia that I can quickly search to remind me about "stuff" that I use infrequently. And, to be fair, holy shit is modern web programming complicated. I am consistently amazed by the results on a wide variety of platforms. EDIT Wow, the link that you shared is amazing. Very well written. Thank you to share.
