Modern coding is now like 17th century humans.
New code today is a fragile little thing dying early in life due to Architecture Anemia, Techdebitis, Dependency Cough, or Complexity Cancer. Now a plague called GenAi infects with early vigor only to result in later code death. Pay the AI priest more maybe they will save your dear code!
Another #SoftwareEngineering #shitpost that sadly just isn’t. Legacy software is that which survived despite all these afflictions.
