Seriously, who works on a piece of software for 10+ years? Usually within 2-3 years one has to throw away most of the code as it was written in an obscure, low adoption language, or it is just so difficult to maintain that new features can't be added. Except for SOA or mSOA where parts can be replaced at any time.

Just because you've been working on shit show projects that doesn't mean all projects are mismanaged like that.

Please put in a bit of effort. Off the top of my head, Postgres, Office, Qt. In yesterday's Blender thread they discussed it and Maya, Autocad, 3DS Max. Web? Jquery, Drupal, Wordpress.

Billions of in-house apps, for companies > ten years old.

The link above details several more, read it.

P.S. Gnaritas, you're dead. Tried vouching, didn't work.

Plenty of companies aren't attracted to the new shiny.

So you've never worked in good code, that's all. Most of the world runs on software evolved over greater than 10 years. Everything you said is wrong, because you've been surfing trendy crap that businesses mostly ignore. Good architects don't use immature languages that might not be around in 10 years, they're smarter than that.

gnaritas, you're "dead." Looks like it started on the "Why do you host offensive content?" thread.
