  Do you think that software becomes poorly understood and maintained because the company treats it as a prestigious job and rewards people for working on it?

  This is how I got laid off. Working on legacy software, sole person on the team, eventually management decided that it could be replaced by AI or some such pixie dust.

  Legacy software with a single dev can be on the fast track to getting shut down. If it was still a business priority, they'd be throwing more resources at it.

  I don’t think the parent comment is saying that should be the case. But the way that corporate culture works, it is definitely a career killer.
