Usually I come here to rant but this time I want to appreciate a technology which many programmers loves to hate: the old .NET Framework.
It may not be the most cutting edge or performat technology but it makes dealing with legacy code such a breeze.
I had to work on an old .NET Framework 4.5 project and all I had to do was opening the .sln with Visual Studio and I was ready to go, in the meantime Node.js projects unmaintained for few years easily succumbs to missing packages and breaking changes making maintenance a PITA.

    @mansur85 I can say the same for 3.5, one of my first professional projects was to migrate a codebase from 3.5 to Core 2.0 😁

    The previous two comments and also, Microsoft literally was all about backwards compatibility before they decided to become a pure cloud service provider. It will take some years before the oldschool backwards compatibility mindset is fully eradicated.
