“Legacy” both works and delivers value. It also doesn’t get political visibility by making something new as a manager. Optimizing the costs of existing business lines is essentially a cost center career track in itself and is why IT people get screwed a lot and those with 90%+ of the same skills in a software development shop will get a bump in pay.
- richiebful1 6y agoYup. We have an in-house MDM solution at work that is mostly composed of stored procedures, SSIS and small C# desktop apps. It could do with some improvements, but overall it works like a charm. But we're rewriting it to use Snowflake and Kafka. With no real use case for the rewrite.
- the_gipsy 6y agoThere's two kinds of legacy, though. The proven, you talk about, and the tech-debt.
