Rule of thumb: Anytime you wanna punch a hole in the wall 👊 you are dealing with legacy code.

If you are new in a project and the creator of the legacy code is still there, his head looks like this wall...

So a fancy sounding term that is so broad it doesn't really communicate anything?

So "legacy code" is just old code -_-

Not necessarily, Linux kernel has a lot of old code but because it is still being mantained it has never become legacy. I think it is more about code being abandoned but used.
