Shitty code written by the previous generations of programmers (typically Boomers) that did nothing but produce technical debt for millenials and Gen Z programmers to clean up, thus killing the thrill and joy they expect to find based off of several popular YouTube programmers chronicling their lives at more modern tech companies. Most often you will find this regards developers who were huge advocates of a specific vendor that is notorious for pushing sub-par software packages on the industry for profit (e.g. Microsoft, Oracle, IBM).
Typically stacks filled with boomercode feature a wide set of redundant infrastructure, overengineering, technical debt and obscure proprietary softwares with no real value, such as EDI. The authors of such code typically also mock modern web standards and design practices. All while being unable to give a coherent explanation of their design choices.
50% of the transaction fees paid are likely because of boomercode.

Recruiter: Hey, I've got this awesome job, they're willing to pay relocation fees and triple your salary.
Modern Developer: Sure, what kind of technology are we talking about?
Recruiter: You'll love it, IBM Informix+Oracle, super legacy ASPX, 4gl, a little COBOL. Lots of WCF. 80% of the business logic written in PL/SQL
Modern Developer: So boomercode

The epitome of all that is wrong with licensed software, PSPDFKit offers a client-side, fully in-browser PDF renderer and annotator that costs $5000 (yearly) to remove the water mark.
The page component itself does not use any back-end services or hit their architecture at all. There is no justification whatsoever for the price.

Developer: Wow, PSPDFKit looks really nice. It was pretty easy to integrate with. I wonder how much it will cost to remove the water mark
Sales Rep: Hello, Developer, we can remove the water mark for you for a mere $5000 licensing fee.
Developer: Gfy
