> Software doesn't rot. On the face it, that's true. But the reality is that the environment that software runs in is constantly evolving and software that doesn't also change slowly starts working worse until it stops working entirely. We have plenty of software at my work that hasn't changed fundamentally in 10 years and can no longer be used. Lots of really old software requires equally unchanged old environments and old hardware and that hardware slowly rots too.
