Re: Interesting article...

...The system performed reliably as designed.  The capacity
limitation was known.

Rather than making a generalization that legacy
systems are "bound to fail", the article should have
emphasized a management culture and approach that was
"bound to fail".


I disagree that the management approach was 'bound to fail.' The application performed reliably as designed. With Y2K, 9/11, and other major things to deal with, fixing a working system has to be assigned a lower priority!
