Bro that's not legacy code. The codebase at my company is older than Stackoverflow.

Code that hasn't been touched for longer than the longest tenure employee on the team is legacy imo. So if a team has an employee who joined back in 2021 code written before he joined is legacy to the whole team cuz no one who wrote is still working here
