I have been a programmer for forty years. Even so, I have made a breakthrough in software development and feel that in some ways my adventure is just beginning.
I evaluate new technologies by whether they will further or hinder my research. These are new (to me): MVC, Javascript, Jquery help my research. Entity Framework hinders my research.
I write lots of new stuff in the new technologies that help my research.
I rewrite code using the technologies that hinder my research to use technologies that further my research. So I rewrite Entity Framework code into ADO because ADO is not an obstacle and Entity Framework is.
Either way I learn something about both kinds of technologies.
