I guess it depends on your perspective. I&#x27;d argue the exact opposite; we&#x27;re entering the age of huge, ancient, yet mission critical codebases that nobody really understands. Look at any piece of popular business software, eg SAP, or the software controlling most computer powered machinery, like factories.<p>It&#x27;s layers upon layers dating back to the 80s. The systems perform poorly even on modern machines, and have terrible usability because changing them is too hard.
