Agree. I was working on 20 years old software with quite some technological debt and then on software doing fraction of the same thing for 4 years, written from scratch by today "methologies" (move fast, abstract is everything, so is framework, vm shipped, opensource integrated everywhere,...). The "new" software has technological debt that far surpasses the old software - but this happened in 4 years, and the team surpasses size of the team for old software. I just cant see how it could survive 20 years. But it was written faster, on the other side, no one really knows its internals - however they brag - due to huge pile of code taken from open source projects. I predict that "death by thousand cuts" will occur spontanously.
