I guess the correct way to present this is something like "I know how to fix this in the short term but we should consider simplifying things because as far as I can tell the current code is much more complex than it needs to be".
- sfn42 2y agoYeah that's pretty much what I told them, except I didn't know how to fix it in the short term. That's kind of my whole point - the "quick fix" took longer than a proper fix would have.
- rqtwteye 2y agoI don't know the exact situation but I just wanted to point out not to fall into the "I have looked at the thing for a little. I don't understand it and I can't be bothered to understand it because whoever write it, was an idiot. We need a full rewrite with my favorite shiny tool. The rewrite will be easy" trap. I think that triggers a lot experienced people. But maybe you are right. That's also very possible
- ungreased0675 2y agoEven if you were correct, project managers are allergic to “This spaghetti code is terrible, I can rewrite it to be way better.” Because, they hear that a lot.
