Why would I do that? Only the thing they have issue with would need to be changed, it wouldn't take any longer than another way of doing it.
You seem to have forgotten what I said, something needs to exist for me to work with. Well, in this "stakeholders want something changed", something exists. It's not a rewrite from scratch.

Does the team calling it even have the customer ID you've just decided to require on, say, this new endpoint? >You seem to have forgotten what I said, something needs to exist for me to work with. No. I'm assuming here that a code base exists and that you are mostly (if not 100%) familiar with it.
- Izkata 2y agoSo what's the problem? You seem to have gone back on the part I quoted in my previous comment.
