- Someone1234 9y agoThrowing out code is easy, throwing out hours you've spent investing into something is hard (e.g. learning, promoting, developing, money, etc). These aren't technical issues with technical solutions, these are issues relating to people's egos and their willingness to throw out acquired skills and effort. For one example, you could go from being the biggest expert in that area to being behind others just by turning against a technology you've helped spearhead. I've seen it happen (and people resist it who knew they'd gone down a dead end).
- alexasmyths 9y agoI fully get what you are saying, but pruning code is a valid thing to do on it's own, and it doesn't necessarily mean changing tech or whatever.
