thanks for this.

> the term originates from Michael Feathers Working Effectively with Legacy Code

I haven’t read the book but, taking the title and Amazon reviews at face value, I feel like this embodies Codex’s coding style as a whole. It treats all code like legacy code.

No, it’s not an established term outside the mentioned books, beyond the generic meaning of the word.

I can't say it isn't, but I have been writing code since about 2004 and this is the first time I've become aware that this is a thing.
