Comment on Ask HN: What's the hardest part of maintaining a legacy codebase?

Comments

Legacy expectations and requirements. It's not uncommon to see that there is a better way to do something, but be unable to do it because the customer assumes and/or expects the current way of doing things. They might even be on board with the new way, but trying to include that in any sort of project budget is a non- starter.
