What I don't understand is why they did a complete rewrite. If the CEO wants a "new app", you get to work doing a redesign of the UX and a refactor of the code base. You usually end up with a better product and better code, and it gives you the flexibility of not being all or nothing.
- Slartie 5y agoSome codebases have just mutated into junk beyond the point at which refactoring could still rescue any value, so a full rewrite actually becomes the better option. I would assume this problem to be especially widespread in apps of hastily growing startups.
