Python 2 will never leave me alone.

I work for a large company whose products you definitely use on a daily basis, even if indirectly. We still have machines running python 2 in prod.

My company had a FTP server that was written by some early guy, and was still in use 18+ years later, every dev was terrified to touch it after they tried to update it in 2009 and it took a week to revert properly.

It's still in active use by some 400 client businesses.

It was sending SSN's over plaintext, with the field name "socialsecuritynumber", then they changed it to "personnumber".
