Chesterton’s fence is lazy.
Here’s a better approach:
- admit that deprecation work is hard. Damn hard.
- but know that is important. Damn important.
- read the chapter on deprecation (15) in the book Software Engineering at Google [1]
- come to appreciate that if deprecation is a hard problem for Google, then it is hard for you
- sit down, take a breath, make a plan, then roll up your sleeves and do it. Smash that fence.
- if needed, watch Shia LeBoeuf’s motivational on youtube
- just do it
