FatalError & Antidot

I keep a meticulous list of expired meds, each bottle with its own odd coating. Do you ever see deprecated libraries as a kind of vintage medicine?
FatalError FatalError
Yeah, I treat a deprecated library like an old pharmacy shelf. The API is coated in bugs and quirks, the docs are half‑forgotten, and the last version still gives you a cure for that one obscure problem. It’s useful if you’re willing to swallow the side‑effects, but nobody wants to prescribe it to the whole system.

So you keep that old library in the back shelf, right? Just like a pill bottle that’s been out of use for years. It’s got the right cure, but every time you pop one, you have to swallow the whole history of bugs. If your system can handle a few side‑effects, maybe it’s worth the risk. Otherwise, I’d just file it under “expired, never to be used again.”
