- dkarapetyan 11y agoLegacy systems tend to ossify and not change much. How is that a good lesson?
- jedberg 11y agoI think OP means more along the lines of the fact that legacy systems were very hard to change, so changes went through a much more rigorous review process. The problem with that theory is that because current systems are so easy to change, the cost of failure is much lower, so the upfront cost to avoid failure no longer has as good an ROI.
