These stories are great, and totally resonate with me at the moment. I'm managing a team working on a 30 year old codebase. It is in technical debt, like many codebases that old. That being said, the codebase is full of so much good stuff from hard learned lessons over 30 years, and that's where its value lies. I'm convinced that the way forward is not to refactor or rewrite it, but to produce something new and different that draws on the 30 years of experience learned during the development of the original product. And, like Basecamp, run them side-by-side and allow users to chose what they want.
