That's right, in the web dev world "legacy codebase" is 3 or 4 years old, created by a previous team who all quit once they finished the rewrite of the previous "legacy codebase".
- pluma 10y agoIn my experience there's no time limit for "legacy". It pretty just means "code we have to maintain that we would like to replace" these days.
