Just rewrite it with 80% functionality and force migrations on the users. Once the remaining 20% "edge cases" that require serious effort hop to the next job - where you where hired to "maintain" such a system and "just add a small feature here and there". Ooops.

all other employers demand modern technologies

There are a lot of employers that'll throw good money at you for maintaining and extending their outdated crap. Have you ever considered learning COBOL?

As most of the human cells die and get replaced within a few years, humans are already beings of Theseus.

Nah, Tucker worked on the Moonlander Project (which got the Starfleet recruitment officer to believe that he has actual experience in aerospace engineering and landed him his current job).

While the "six turning four burning" B-36 already is a decent WeirdWing, this modification for the FICON project is probably the cherry on top.

Initially intended as marine recon / bomber this machine only made a few test flights.

This photo shows the X-29 during a 1991 research flight. Smoke generators in the nose of the aircraft were used to help researchers see the behavior of the air flowing over the aircraft. The smoke here is demonstrating forebody vortex flow. This mission was flown September 10, 1991, by NASA research pilot Rogers Smith.
