Weird goalposts shifting.

My former company makes B2B software that's entire purpose is to process business data and our codebase started in 1999 and plenty of original code is still in there. Entire modules have barely been updated, those modules are working and the business needs haven't changed.

Speaking of old business software, PeopleSoft is ubiquitous at big companies and has been around forever. Their codebase probably has code two decades old. The frontend looks like it hasn't been updated in the last decade.
