The stack of rocks holding up that fence is basically legacy code in its purest form. Junior devs see it and think, "What an ugly hack! I'll just refactor this real quick." Meanwhile, senior devs know the truth - that "temporary" solution has been supporting the entire system for years, and disturbing it would trigger a cascade of disasters nobody can predict. The fence hasn't fallen yet, so clearly those random rocks are doing something right! It's the programming equivalent of finding duct tape holding together critical infrastructure and slowly backing away.
