Yup, there's also time dependence. Perhaps someone wrote some software in COBOL that is hard to maintain now. But rewritng it may not be worth the opportunity cost now, especially for well-tested systems that have been around for a long time and which have critical failure modes. Sometimes it's better to leave things alone and work around them, even if it results in an uglier design. |
