The phrase “old C# code bases” makes me feel incredibly old.

It's almost 20 years old. That said, many of the languages considered hip are older (Python, Ruby, Javascript, etc)

I started out working with .NET and C# in early 2001, feels like yesterday but suddenly it's ~18 years O_o.

Did you also used those beta MSDN releases where the documentation was full of red text for the parts that were still in flux?

[teh_klev]

I have some vague memories of this. I worked for a MS Gold Partner and half remember getting access to all sorts of pre-release bits.
