New code builds on a pyramid of legacy (internal and external) code. As painful as it may be, learning how to work with legacy code is a critical skill for most new projects or features.

When you encounter issues requiring a deep dive into stack traces, you will find sloppy code that is no longer maintained and can no longer be traced to a source (frustrating!). You will also find elegant code that has worked for decades with minimal issues (amazing!).
