I had a friend in college who got to maintain a piece of banking software. There was no source code, no documentation, and no team to contact. A running binary was all he had to work with.

After so much maintenance and improvement had been done on the compiled binary, the source code wouldn’t help even if you had it.

Lots of fun stories.
