Over the years; I have found very few valid business reasons to re-write a code base that is still supporting the relevant business.

From a business perspective; something that works is more important than something that is well architected.
- amelius 10y agoTell that to the Facebook team who recently rewrote their entire front end codebase using React.
- a13n 10y agoI was also at FB when they hit File > New Project on their iOS app which IIRC drives more revenue than anything else at the company.
