It’s a common thing in programming. There’s some legacy code that isn’t being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying “Not used, but removing it breaks the build” and then forgotten about.

5·2 years agoMy first job I spent 3 years working on a variety of projects that never shipped. It was frustrating at the time, but the experience was good for me. Now I have fun writing code and working with my teammates and if my code doesn’t ship, well it’s not as bad as not having anything ship for 3 years.
It tells you it will happen when you use the restore backup feature.
