  • Abstract
    The author considers software maintenance, which is a vitally important and, more to the point, a totally misunderstood topic. By disrespecting the maintenance of legacy software, we´ve turned our collective back on (a) what most people in software do, (b) what most of the money in software is spent on, and (c) our greatest opportunity to please our clients and customers.
