Eh, honestly sometimes I stumble upon code which was last modified in the last millennium and it’s usually fine. If has been working for 30 odd years then it stood the test of time and probably isn’t too janky. Selection bias strikes again.

this has been me for the last six months updating ansible playbooks written by people that no one remembers because of problems documented by managers that no one also remembers because they all quit 10ish years ago due to the shit pay. lol
