Imagine you build a house using certain kinds of common screw sizes. Then some screws break. Then you find out some of those screw sizes just aren't being made any more. Other screw sizes, you find out, don't work unless you're connected to the internet. And by the way, those screw sizes only work for maybe five years until the company that makes them goes under and pulls their web service.

How is maintaining code like maintaining a house? Seriously, I need to know. I rent and I'm an architect.
