<p>How do you define legacy code?</p>
<p>Is it code written by previous Developers who worked on the codebase?</p>
<p>Is it code you wrote last week or last month?</p>
<p>Is it code for features everyone no longer uses?</p>
<p>Is it the "old" part of the application that no one wants to work on?</p>
<p>It is any code that's not nice to work on or difficult to change?</p>
<p>Is it code written with different conventions to your current ones or in a different style?</p>
<p>Is it any code that doesn't have automated tests or wasn't written with test-driven development?</p>
<p>Is it code built with outdated tooling or frameworks (like CSS libraries) that were popular then but have since been replaced by something newer?</p>
<h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>
<p>These are just some of the potential definitions I can think of.</p>
<p>The term "legacy code" and others, such as "technical debt", often mean different things.</p>
<p>What's your definition? Reply and let me know.</p>
