You start debugging with confidence, following the stack trace like a bloodhound on a scent. Function A calls Function B, which calls Function C... and then you arrive at some ancient piece of code that predates your entire tenure at the company. The commit history goes back to when people still used SVN. The original author left three companies ago. There are no comments. Variable names like x1 and temp2 everywhere. You realize with dawning horror that fixing this bug means understanding code written during the Obama administration, and suddenly that "quick fix" just became a week-long archaeological expedition through legacy hell.
