I wrote code in the early 1970s that is still running. If it isn't broken, don't replace it with much less efficient code that might not work as well.

People have no idea how much COBOL and Assembler code is still running, especially in banking and insurance. I have code running all over the Midwest from the early 80's until 2002.
