    Code is really hard to work with without the theory that surrounds it, and is alive in the people who worked on it. Peter Naur - Programming As Theory Building http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf

      Legacy shitcode is legacy shitcode. If it's owned by someone at least we can push for a sane interface, which is better than the abandoned communal messes I encounter in the real world.
