Maybe don’t assume other people are “wrong”? A strongly typed codebase in a larger system almost certainly has untyped boundaries (HTTP, JSON, SQL, etc.) and likely to data driven with combinatorial complexity. Going into such rewrites with a great deal of respect for any existing code that “works” is very wise.
- Scubabear68 3y agoI guess we should all stop fixing bugs and creating new feature and enhancements. My God - if we touch the code, something might break! Sorry for the sarcasm, but this attitude of fear is so pervasive and unnecessary. Seriously, isn’t this our job?
- mlhpdx 3y agoRespect, not fear. I chose the word intentionally. Respecting the working system means investing a little before going in to redo. That’s all. No everyone is right for such work, which is fine because they are often well suited for other equally important things.
