Interesting, I still have code I wrote 20 years ago being used in production.

Same here.

With a little bit of smug satisfaction about the fact that my 20-year-old mission-critical code is running flawlessly, noticed by people only when it needs to be rebooted to update some connectivity configuration, while the 11 teams of some overpriced consultancy that was supposed to replace it have been struggling for five years now, having swallowed ten times the budget and not even being close to matching the functionality of my own code.

This gap will only widen with the generation of LLM coders.
