A philosophical approach may help. Change is the only constant expectation that I have. All of my past work over 25+ years is now deprecated, obsolete, tech-debt, or irrelevant. It is the nature of software. Intangible work built upon ephemeral stacks, all to go away with time. My personal metric: how much I can keep pace with. Rate of change vs deep-rooted expertise.
