I'm confused. It's too much work to upgrade dependencies, but not too much time to write from scratch and maintain, in perpetuity, original code?

- bryanlarsen 7mo agoYes. I've probably spent more time maintaining a trivial Rails app originally written in 2007 than I spent writing it in the first place.
- WJW 7mo agoBut if you would have rewritten the entire app every time you needed to update the dependencies, that would have taken even more time.
