    Some of the other benefits of maintenance programming:

    Losing your sanity over the Lovecraftian horror of spaghetti code so undecipherable even a Pastafarian would call it an affront to his god.

    Tearing out your hair trying to get the code to even run due to undocumented build dependencies.

    Bashing your head against the table to the point of bleeding when you realize that the code talks to the internals of a particular library and that requires a very exact version of the library that's nowhere to be found on the internet anymore.
