The idea that two interns are going to be able to take over for this guy was the funniest part of the article. Maintaining a large old legacy code base is a hard job because there is so much to learn before you can even start. Codebases like that live that long are often used in important places where a YOLO approach of “test it in production” can cost tremendous amounts of money or even lives. The article makes fun of the guy for only committing hundreds of lines of code, but they worked perfectly the first time and every time.
