>Because the future is whatever you're building software in today.
This is a seriously unhealthy attitude for software engineering. This attitude will create legacy systems and legacy systems that will live on forever.
There's not much wrong with such legacy systems. Unfortunately, they are more like exceptions. Most likely, your legacy systems break and you have no idea how to fix them. Or, you have to hire one guy for life because he is the only one who can maintain and fix your systems. And you pray that he doesn't get sick or hit by the bus.
