Good morning, I am sending this mail seeking advice for my career. I have been working in web development using asp.net and SQL Server for the past 8 years but I am a single developer in my company and the projects I do are not that big, so, I got the feeling that I am outdated and not up to the standards of web development anymore. I am trying to study online courses and read recent news but due to the fact that I am not within a team i feel separated from the developers environment. I thought of quitting for another company but i found that I can't stand against powerful candidates in my field. Now I am starting to lose interest and just sticking to the routine of doing what I know without trying to update myself as I am feeling its now useless. Thanks in advance for your help.
I want to add that i don't have any Microsoft certificates
