Yeah I wish it was a more common understanding that your code files are just documents that describe the processes of your business.
If you have a process that nobody dares to touch anymore because it's too messy, you have a document that holds part of your business hostage.
It forces you to stagnate in the areas described by the document, and you can work around that for quite a while, but that doesn't mean it doesn't do any harm.
