Legacy: Gold Mine and Scar Tissue

Captions available

The idea

The book describes a legacy system as both a gold mine of real data and years of accidental complexity.

In practice

A column called status two quietly does three jobs, and a shadow spreadsheet tracks what the system never could.

Where people slip

Copying it as a sacred relic and discarding it as a toxic mess both lose; ask which real things hide inside it.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
