Why are enterprises running code from 1985? How long code needs to last is actually highly variable, and categorical absolutist statements like this tend to generally be wrong and are specifically wrong here. Some code will need to change in a year. Some will need to last for forty years. Sometimes it's hard to know which is which at the time it is written, but that's part the job of technical leadership: to calibrate effort to the longevity of the expected problem and the risks of getting it wrong. |
