“Why are we doing this refactor in this PR along with the feature? Let’s do the feature first and then do the refactor later (read: never)”

  The bet your making is you never need to do the refactor. The amount of absolutely garbage code that has never needed to change ever is easily worth a wait-and-see attitude.

    It’s worth it until you need to. Then you have a nightmare on your hands because you’re never allowed to rewrite it.

      Waiting until you need to rewrite it sounds like the perfect time to rewrite it.
