    I’ve worked on satellite command and control software that is literally using a 1970s OS. The code is limited for historical reasons and you have to work with the structure you are given.

      okay. doesn’t mean you still shouldn’t refactor or add a layer of abstraction where you can. we’re looking for a generalizable principle here and generalizable principles don’t assume that you’re working with satellites that are older than the dev.
