I once remove an “extra” line from some legacy code. Turned out I had just deleted all the users’ favorites 🫠

There’s one project I used to work with a text file with a weird name in the folder. The text says “do not remove this file, I don’t know why but if you do everything breaks”. Had to give it a try and whom ever created it was correct.

I once deleted "extra **comment** lines" from app server code, and everything stops working.

Also when you adjust the footer margin slightly in a 200 page Word document

Never touch legacy code 😄 Even though you modify it , make sure your code doesn’t touch previous code flow
