Isn't that how you get ancient COBOL monoliths running on mainframes which everyone is afraid to touch?
- marcosdumay 5y agoDo you not need to touch it or are you afraid to touch it? Those things are different.
- dudeman13 5y agoPretty sure it's "afraid to touch it". Haven't you heard horror stories about complete hackery and shitshow (sometimes not even code, but actual company processes) built around them because fixing it might as well have become impossible?
- marcosdumay 5y agoWell, I'd say that being afraid to touch some code is a pretty important quality dimension, one that is not moot by not needing changes.
