A disciple of another sect once came to Drescher as he was eating
his morning meal. "I would like to give you this personality test", said the outsider, "because I want you to be happy." Drescher took the paper that was offered him and put it into the toaster -- "I wish the toaster to be happy too".

I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were all these aisles and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach. -- Lucinda Childs "Einstein On The Beach"

I keep hearing and reading this nice proverb if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The latest appearance was in response to Shlomi Fish suggesting that some Ancient Perl code should be replaced by Modern Perl code.
I am not saying that every piece of code should be rewritten every 6 months, but in my understanding that sentence actually translates to let's wait till it breaks and then panic.
I think people who say that sentence are afraid that the new version will break something. Sure, there is always a chance that a change introduces an error, but, if we are afraid to touch the code, what will happen when later on we encounter a case where it does not work? For example, if we need to use it in a new environment. Will we have the courage to change the code then? How much will it cost in money, time, and lost sleep?
I think we have been trying to teach ourselves that we should have really good test coverage of our code and then we can easily refactor it and get rid of technical debt. So why do we keep hearing that sentence?
-- Gabor Szabo

波影摇涟，趁熏风，一舸来时，翠阴清昼。去郭轩楹才数里，藓磴松关云岫。 快屐齿，筇枝先后。空半危亭堪聚远，看洞庭，缥缈争奇秀。人自老，景如旧。 来帆去棹还知否，问古今，几度斜阳，几番回首？晓色一川谁管领，都付雨荷烟柳， 知我者，燕朋鸥友。笑拍阑干呼范蠡，甚平吴，却倩垂纶手？吁万古，付卮酒。 -- 周密《长亭怨慢》
