Similar background: 30 years of coding - academic, commercial, COBOL, C, C++, Java, Javascript, Python,
I've recently been looking at Java code so full of horribly complex calls to combinations of outdated horrible frameworks, that I was thinking the same thing - "We may well look back on these years of great web development as building a legacy that a lot of us spend the rest of our lives trying to reverse-engineer, fix and replace."
I was thinking that Rails or Django might at least reduce the amount of stuff to learn to get maintenance done.
