I worked at an org which has a ‘modern’ NodeJS+React codebase and an ancient legacy Django app on Python 2.7 which is nearing 15 years old.
I was worried that the old codebase would be a pain to work on. It was the complete other way around. The Django app was a complete joy to work with and I literally had so much fun tidying it up and working with it that I’ll be sad when they finally retire it in favor of the new new Go/React rewrite.
