Software doesn't rot. The world rots, and software must be maintained to match it, to keep working.

Software doesn't rot.
The world rots, and software must be maintained to match it, to keep working.
- AshamedCaptain 6y agoThat couldn't be further from the truth. It is my common in my area (engineering/industrial) to see software that is 30-40 years old where the only maintenance required is to keep up with the ever-changing operating systems (i.e. it is software who changes more than the rest of "the world"). Because at some point DOS ain't going to run on Windows 11 anymore.
- hyperpallium2 6y agoThat's what I meant i.e. your software doesn't rot, other software rots (i.e. the rest of the world). My wording didn't express what I meant.
