Serves as a critical reminder in programming and software development: before removing or altering existing code, one must understand why it was implemented in the first place. This principle is universal for life. Emphasizes the importance of historical context and the potential consequences of change, especially a quick and fast one. Urging developers to approach modifications with caution and respect for prior decisions. Even if they are unknown or seem meaningless.

I love that rule cause it DOES MAKE SENSE. I can see many places where we would benefit from it but not always do it that way because of the ‘standard’.
