That definition of legacy code is not mine! When I wrote that post on LinkedIn I used that definition as a basis to define a legacy process hahaha. Glad It helped tho 🧡

Thanks for the clarification 🫶 It is also a great description of the legacy code and its implications.

For sure 😁. I don't know where I read it. Probably the definition was a mix and match between several sources and a few discussions I've taken part in hahaha. Sorry, I cannot point to a reference 😅
