Sure any rewrite has those benefits, but it's also become a huge liability with a truck factor of 1.

- deepsun 5y agoRewrites don't have to be done by sole Magpies. I've seen a semi-large project been rewritten 4 times at G, by the whole team. When I came I literally couldn't propose a single thing to improve (there were only things that could be traded off for something else). It was very self-respecting to work on that project (though I didn't do any of those rewrites). And I respected managers there for giving resources for it to happen.
