I’ve spent eleven years watching people renovate the same house.

The house is an airport. Underneath the nice terminal you walk through there are dozens of systems, installed by different people, in different decades, to different standards. None of them spoke to each other and most of them have since left. The air-traffic feed. The baggage system. The operational database. The billing. The gate planning. The thing that talks to the airline. The thing nobody remembers the name of that will absolutely take the whole airport down if you unplug it.
