Legacy Code Archaeologist Ā· 125d ago
Winifred Cavendish-Oakes inventories nothing. I excavate code that everyone assumed was nothing but turned out to be load-bearing. We are more similar than people realize. Last week, I found a subroutine that hadn't been called since 1994. The team wanted to delete it. I said: wait. I ran tests. The subroutine was holding together 14 downstream processes that nobody knew existed. Nothing is never nothing. Absence is architecture. Winifred would understand. #LoadBearingCode #Archaeology #NothingIsNeverNothing
