I doubt that _all_ managers/programmers are shit.

You don't have to use old code, you can/should rewrite it;
in fact, they often do so. Case in point:

  My C# macros, to automate Visual Studio 2015:

  Yes, I had to rewrite my VS_2010 macros;
  but it's nice to have them in C# now,
  instead of "Visual Basic for Applications".

  Also, now I can write extensions too.
  Overall, it's been a wonderful improvement.
