Software rot is a big problem in many business tools. Everything not recently built from the tip of main is probably no longer working. APIs change, URLs change, Processes change, newer versions of dependencies no longer work because of version conflicts or deprecation without replacement. The amount of work just to fix the rot is constantly rising. No care is spent to keep things stable. Stable interfaces are really something I learnt to appreciate more and more, even if sometimes crusty and verbose. If it is reliably working don't replace it without a very good reason. I attribute these problems mostly to agile the way it is practiced in many companies. Only thinking in providing "value" per sprint and little to no planning ahead, prioritizing ease of change over everything else.
