I'm saying that if you don't know a person's pronouns at all and you're not sure if they/them sounds right, you largely can avoid it altogether. And I don't mean by just repeating their name over and over (which I agree sounds weird), so if we take the original comment:
> Feel like it would be easier if he rewrote it from scratch and then copied the business logic
then using their name is totally pronoun agnostic as discussed:
> Feel like it would be easier if foone rewrote it from scratch and then copied the business logic
but you can also not use name, pronoun or anything:
> Feel like it would be easier to rewrite the app from scratch and then copy the business logic
or:
> Feel like it would be easier if the app was rewritten from scratch, and then the business logic could be copied
English is really flexible, and to be honest I think these look quite natural and don't sound like I'm nervously trying to avoid offending anyone.
