• Grandfather's axe

  There's a tail of a grandfather's axe, where the head has been replaced three times, and the handle four times, but the grandfather still considers it his old axe.
  
  A product I created about a decade ago is still being sold, and I imagine that much of my code still is in there, but as new versions have been released, and old code refactored, enhanced, and rewritten since I left that company 8 years ago, it's not necessarily "my old code" any longer.

  I support some code over 20 years old, but I still feel like a noob not a dinosaur programmer.

  I wouldn't be surprised if the oldest was by now over a decade old, maybe going on 15 years. But I've not kept track so it's impossible to tell. What I can tell is that there's code out there still in use today that's about 5 years old. The intervening decade was a bit of a blur :)
