TIL my first 'Hello World' script is now 10 years old, which feels wild because I still remember typing it out on a beat-up laptop in my college dorm.
Seeing that file date pop up made me realize how much simpler coding felt back then, before I knew about frameworks or debugging, and it's got me wondering if anyone else has an old project that still runs after all this time?

Who says old code is even worth keeping around?

Ever tried to fix a bug only to find the old code was the safety net? Sometimes it's there for a weird but important reason.

Seriously, what's the worst that happens? Half the time that old code is just sitting there not even running anymore. It's not like the whole system crashes if we ignore some dusty scripts from 2012.
