Sounds like pure joy.
- int_19h 4y agoIt was certainly an ... interesting experience. But it would have been much, much more unpleasant if we had to write new code 90s-style, too. OTOH if we tried to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, we wouldn't ship a new feature for many years - only new bugs.
