I joined a company with a very old codebase this year (code started in the 80s).
It looks to me that adherence to very strict standards made the code very maintainable today. The standards are precisely defined by a multi-team committee. This is combined with just enough careful evolution of the codebase over the years to use more current tools and libraries.
