If it ain't broke then don't fix it.
Err, it will be broken in about 6 weeks so I guess we better fix it. |  |

I work for a small software company.
Whenever I think we're not doing things inefficiently (we're quite harsh on ourselves), I am reminded by a huge organisation what inefficiency really is (another recent example is Greene King, you wouldn't believe how many different pieces of software they use based on what a Developer told me recently).

I work in the "communication" industry as a dev.
This is but a tip of the iceberg. Some of the things are absolutely mental. |  |

I started working as a programmer in the late '70's.
It was mainly in the manufacturing industry.
The problem then was connectivity or lack of it. Computers just didn't 'talk' to each other. We had British-built production lines with Siemens contol systems bolted on.
Siemens had a permanent office at each of our factories dedicated to trying to get their software to work. 2 years this went on before someone suggested we drop the Baud rate from 9600 to 2400 and see if that might make a difference. The slower rate had some success so we dropped it to 1200 and Eureka! 2 years of faffing about and it was that simple.
I don't work there anymore but I suspect those same legacy systems are still in place. | |

It's interesting though isn't it - if it still works, productive, maintainable and reliable why change it. |  |
