Ask HN: What is the oldest code in production that you still use?

7 pointsby thellimistover 4 years ago
I defined "oldest" as code which hasn't been updated/maintained since.

I started work in 1998, first thing I worked on was part of the Bank of England regulatory reporting software used by 100s of banks. I&#x27;m pretty sure some of that will still be in use.<p>The next thing I worked on was for British Gas for one of their core processes. I changed at least 100 screens and rewrote their daily batch process. I just heard that&#x27;s still going and unlikely to have changed.<p>Both systems originated from early 1990s

Our company has COBOL that&#x27;s from the 80&#x27;s. There&#x27;s some Java batch stuff and Oracle SPs that I worked on 7-8 years ago that are still in use.
