If It Works, Don't Touch It

When you see "FREE PROGRAMMING ADVICE" you get excited, only to discover it's just "IF IT WORKS, DON'T TOUCH IT" - the universal law of production code that's saved more careers than version control. That feeling when your perfectly functioning spaghetti code is held together by duct tape and prayers, but the client is happy so you slowly back away from the keyboard. The first rule of legacy systems: nobody talks about refactoring legacy systems.
