- nicoffeine 6y agoProbably not to different from refactoring the same CRUD applications over and over to keep up with with the other poor bastards who had to do it first. Except you get exercise and fresh air.
- kortilla 6y agoThat’s a pretty bad analogy because you don’t refactor for maintenance. A better equivalent would be swapping out hard drives in a major storage system or servers in a data center on the scale of Google. It’s mind numbing work but it’s better than many other “pick and place” style manual labor. At least with painting a bridge the scenery is better although the temperature is more harsh.
