I've got a large codebase i've been maintaining since 1999 that i've continued to evolve and is still in use today . I've been able to steadily improve it without breaking much. IDK maybe its being > 50 but I can appreciate less "dynamic" environments. I do we dev in vue with a go back end but I know the vue part is going to be a rewrite in 5 years. Who wants to keep doing that shit? not this 52 year old guy.

Modern refactoring and static analysis tools really make it far easier to keep old code bases up to date.
As a hobby thing I'm taking an almost 30 year code base written in C and reworking it into C++17. I've become somehow somewhat adept at this transformation over the years :-)
