This is IT world. Either you adapt or you are out. If you got overwhelmed by tech news and few required changes then this trade is not for you. I am sorry to disappoint you, but its not like you will design software and then sit on your ass for 2-3 years harvesting profits from it. Check any popular software - even ones developed by single person. They usually get a lot of updates. Why? Because thats what developer gets paid for. He get paid more than carpenter, cleaner or taxi driver. Now you know why. I am doing game development and I hear all the time "they expect me to do this? Forget it!" - well you are getting paid for it, so move your lazy ass and do it or change the trade. Even if it requires extra work, that what is called "work ethics" - you go extra mile, you aim for best results.
