In woodworking the glue is typically the strongest part of the joint, it's the wood being glued that tears apart first. Glue code is really important! It's the bit that knows the actual use case! Don't treat it lightly!

I feel like, on some level, I deeply injured my brain by reading Working Effectively With Legacy Code at a young age
on the other hand, it's been great for my career for not making me afraid of glue and discovery
This book can't hurt me because I can't read!
i.e. I dodged both harmful methodologies and precious gems of learning by being born a person who does not enjoy learning from books.
Although I suspect it's like mentoring from an elder programmer: a mixed bag to be sifted through for gems.
Honestly, I talk about it like that sometimes, but it's one of the few books on software engineering that I would just completely recommend. Well, I haven't re-read it in a while, so maybe I should before continuing to, but it was pretty great!
