Saw “brownfield” for the first time just now as the opposite of “greenfield.” Yuck.
Feels a bit harsh – legacy software projects do much of the heavy lifting that makes the world go ’round – but I guess still a useful term. Maybe.
@snarfed.org “minefield” tends to be more precise in my experience
@snarfed.org I usually go with “yard full of rakes” but “minefield” fit the pattern.
