No wonder my ZX-81 is really hot, and the 1KB expansion ram is glowing hot too

Since the poll was "What is the oldest significant piece of code you have in a current application?" I am curious what an INSIGNIFICANT piece of code would be...

C++/MFC/InstallShield since 1993

If I don't actually know? There's some fairly big stuff I did for a company 4/5 years ago which might still be running, and there's almost certainly some 3 year old code still going from my last job. Given I've only been in my current job a year (to the day Big Grin | :-D

- time for Beer | [beer]

), I don't have anything that old.

OTOH, The first code I wrote here is still running in a server program which is getting heavily adapted for a different project, and my code is about the only thing still going to be used in it Smile | :)

For .NET or for C++?

On current moment I write applications on .NET - I have oldest component < 1 year

For c++ my oldest code is 5 years...

On my mind results does not say anything about real state of code reusing...
Needed at least two tests: one for .NET and one for C++

Good Luck

It's the average life span that's <=3 years.

Yes, but just because the average lifespan of a piece of code is 3 years doesn't mean the rest of the code in the app is also out of date.

cheers,
