Something that stuck with me from a previous job is the quote: “don’t underestimate things that have survived many attempts to kill them.”

Think: DNS, bash, C, TCP.

These things have survived this long for a reason. Find out the reason.

Good lord, people are interpreting this as me saying these things are Good and should not be replaced.

It’s about figuring out what’s truly important. Sometimes good enough is good enough.

I’m glad we’ve all had fun with this.

@samwho also the replacement cost should be considered
