My friend said 'just copy the code from Stack Overflow, it's fine' and now my project won't run at all.
I pasted a block of Python code for a login system from a forum answer marked 'solved' three years ago, and after two hours of debugging, I found out the library it used doesn't work with the new version I have installed.

Used to think that was fine, but outdated code changed my mind real quick.

What's the worst legacy code you've ever run into? Mine was some spaghetti that literally crashed a whole database.

Outdated code is like finding a rotten sandwich in your lunchbox.
