> It's called code-rot..

Totally, but that’s not what I’m talking about. We did the move from OpenGL to Metal, for example. It was tough, but it is a huge improvement and we were glad to do it to avoid code rot. I’m talking about how something that we wrote and compiled with the last fully updated IDE a few months ago suddenly stops working in the next release and requires tweaking. This isn’t 20 year old code that we haven’t touched. It’s 20 year old code we’ve been religiously updating the entire time.
