Well, one might notice "everybody" has to be a rhetoric exaggeration, since there's absolutely no way even remotely close to "everybody" would have any codebase at all whatsoever, not to talk about 20 year old legacy. Right?
Second, I was responding to a comment talking about "existing, critical, real time applications". Of which a huge number of cases do have existing, very old legacy codebases.
Third, I fail to see what you tried to bring to the conversation. If your only problem was with my rhetoric, see above.
It's comments like these that remind me how exclusionary the software world is. Your definition of "everybody" is such a tiny number of people. But that's who you have in mind when you are constructing the world around you each day.
