16 years is impressive? What would you call a 33 year old multi million line codebase still being babysat in production today?

  It's not the age. It's that they didn't touch it for a decade, and then still had the ability to make changes to it when they needed to.

    How do you know they didn't touch it for a decade?
    • ars 10y ago
      Because I've used it that long, and it did not change in the slightest except for the change I mentioned.

        Just because the user interface or functionality didn't change doesn't imply the internals didn't change to keep it maintained and running though, right?
