You’re “pushing back” against the term “legacy code” with an argument that someone “needs to take responsibility”.

Where did you get the idea that “legacy code” equals “abandonware”? The world runs on massive legacy codebases that have been maintained for decades.

LLMs remove the familiarity of “I wrote this and deeply understand this”. In other words, everything is “legacy code” now ;-) For those who are less experienced with the constant surprises that legacy code bases can provide, LLMs are deep

Very interesting. I would have intuitively hand-waved the variability of each laborer’s output for those as “within a tolerable amount of time, most of the time” but I see your point that at the busiest times an order for a single, more com

This is the wrong framing: We all have degrees of “diagnosable” traits, it’s only when those traits become problematic do we need to seek help. For example, obsessive tendencies can help you stick with a tough problem or they can become a
