- Never put yourself into a state of dependency on a single income source, unless you wish to have the emotions you are feeling now

And I'll add: strive to never create such code yourself. You are 100% correct that everyone says old code is badly written and has zero documentation. So is the code we're writing today. Once you realize that you'll have become enlightened and will be a better programmer for the rest of your years.
