Old code is insane. The coders at my work don’t want to touch the millions of lines of visual basic 6 and fortran that prop up the company. No loops. No encapsulation. Just assignment and soft validations. Co-pilot says that was considered safe back in the day. One team just triple checking things and sending to production. The comments suggest issues I have today have been issues and unaddressed for decades. I can’t get the code to compile and you have to pay MS if you want VB6 IDE, so all I can do is look at the ancient texts I barely understand and ponder its implications on my job.
