    So I have been assigned a new role - modernize some old Java EE applications. X| X| I need a new job now

      What does "modernize" really mean these days? A new coat of paint perhaps? :sigh:

        Ofcourse that - CSS (read: cuss) changes. Replacing old JS with new ones. And update struts libraries due to this scary CVE[^]

          "modernize" in broad or narrow sense ? :-) Perhaps modernizing in a broad sense would be a time saver ? Cheers

            I'll put "repainting the app to look modern" in the narrow sense.

              Modernization: Making not so technical people boast about version of software product they are using. There can still be COBOL under those fancy wrappers. But not many open those wrappers.

                Change all colours to shades of light pastel blue, and take out as much graphical detail as you can.

                    There is a library for that, a bit misspelled though [Modernizr: the feature detection library for HTML5/CSS3](https://modernizr.com/)

                      Don't forget to require a constant cloud connection to make sure you're licensed to use the software. Yes even especially if the software itself doesn't connect to the outside world.

                        Oh, don't say that! My blood pressure can't take it! Sick, sick, sick, sick SICK! of pointless, irritating "reminders" from win server and fruggin-awful-antivirus-server that I have to connect uber-high-security, air-gapped physical servers to the Internet, because they have to upload information that they are absolutely not entitled to and are never going to get! It used to be that if someone sold you something, you were treated with respect, because you were the customer, and they were grateful for your patronage. But if you buy software, these days, you have to treat the vendor like he's your lord and master. It's got to stop. It's got to %#@&ing stop!
