The Sacred Cow Of Legacy Code

The sacred cow of legacy code. Every dev team has that one monstrosity—a horrifying tangle of spaghetti code written by someone who left the company five years ago—but it somehow powers the entire business. Touch it? You might as well resign on the spot. We've all been there, staring at a function with zero comments and variable names like "temp2" and "x_final_FINAL_v3" while the senior dev whispers, "We don't go near that part. It's... temperamental." And so the cow remains, untouched, unrefactored, and utterly sacred.
