When my code doesn't work, I don't sunset the code, I fix it. Why would the best course of action be to stop trying instead of fixing the root of the problem?

- zdragnar 3y agoIf your code doesn't work, it could be anything from a minor typo to a bad abstraction based on bad assumptions that requires a full refactor to get correctness and / or minimum acceptable performance. About 90% of that scale requires sunsetting at least some of your code and doing something differently.
