I love CI but it does only works if it&#x27;s continuous.<p>The scenarios I was describing don&#x27;t lend themselves to it. It&#x27;s usually vendor deployed, closed source software. Not an in-house production. That or it truly is ancient, from an era when CI wasn&#x27;t a thing.<p>You can resurrect development but as I mentioned before, this can often involve resurrecting people, not just the project. And employing them indefinitely for something that —for the past 10 years— has been free. It&#x27;s a bloody hard sell to higher management.<p>My last post wasn&#x27;t my opinion. I wasn&#x27;t advocating for never updating, I&#x27;m just passing along my experiences with the sorts companies that have systems they don&#x27;t touch out of fear.
