A friend has been invited to be a consultant for an investment

One of the biggest issues I can think of would be code
breakage. While we're the point where most compiler updates no
longer break my code, if you expect to use a codebase from 2
years ago without having to update your code, you'll be
disappointed.
In the last 2 years each breaking change I've encountered has
been to close holes where latent bugs may lurk ... and often were
lurking!
I welcome these breaking changes in production code.
