Legacy code is a by-product of running a business. There’s no escape from it no matter how hard you try. Even if you started off as a brand new project, over time you’ll accumulate legacy code to a point where you just want to throw everything away and start again.

But you can’t.

Business must go on — even when you’re taping code here, there and everywhere just to make things work. If you’ve ever had the chance to work with any legacy system or code that is older than 6 months, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

The best part of this experience is that new tech comes out all the time. The boss or someone in your team wants to implement the next feature using the latest framework or library. But you can’t let it happen because the application is a monolith that will get angry if you try to change the core technology from what it’s currently using.

Either that or a rewrite of the entire system. Because rewrites are the equivalent of starting anew — just for the cycle to repeat all over again.

It’s an issue that many organizations face. So how can we fix it?
