> Every single legacy application I've ever worked on has had analogous code buried in it somewhere.

I'm not old enough to be responsible for stuff like that but I am incompetent enough.



I love your comment. Funny and humble.


Rest assured that while the person responsible for the legacy design flaw is perhaps long gone, I'll be right there...waiting, oblivious.

Not old enough as in hasn't produced any legacy code yet. Not in the sense of avoiding senility.
