One of the most important things Iโve learned as a programmer is to respect legacy code I'm working on.
It may look crazy, but it was probably written that way for a reason. Donโt dismiss it as stupid until you completely understand how itโs used and what it was designed for.
20 years ago, I was one of the skeptics.
Being a huge fan of Encyclopedia Britannica and later Encarta Encyclopedia, it was hard for me to imagine a future of classified knowledge without traditional authoritative editorial teams.
Iโm glad I was wrong.
Happy birthday, @Wikipedia
It is @Wikipedia 's 20th anniversary today. It is hard to remember from today's perspective how viciously the idea of a publicly edited encyclopedia was mocked by many traditional gatekeepers of knowledge. It is hard to imagine a better refutation.
Iโm still suffocating in this messy 3rd-party library I need to update.
Hard to believe the new version could be worse than the old one, but they pull it off.
Itโs a nightmare ๐ค
A week-long nightmare...

The library is open source but its author doesnโt care about SDK stability or API versioning.
Every upgrade Iโve done has been a complete rewrite ๐ญ
