This is pretty optimistic. In reality, when money or critical systems are involved they'd want to thoroughly vet the new work and that'll take a lot more than two months.
- tonymet 2mo agoI mean at $100m in revenue, the $1-$2m in migration cost to the new system would be recouped very quickly (1-2% of revenue)
- Jtsummers 2mo agoCan you explain your $1-2 million figure and your handful of developers finishing it in 1-2 months? What's the timeline for this Fandango rewrite look like in your mind in more specific terms than just 1-2 months. What do you think can be done and how do the costs break down on a week-by-week basis over, say, 10 weeks (high side of 2 months)? We can handwave and assume a few things about the system since none of us are involved in Fandango, but many of us have worked on large scale systems. Use a system you're more familiar with if you prefer but that's of comparable scale. You're the one making the claim, demonstrate that it's not overly optimistic like the rest of us seem to think.
- tonymet 2mo agothat doesn't help the conversation. It's easily less than 10% of their revenue, and there's likely more than 10-15% of revenue on the table. Nearly every business will consider that formula. What's your opinion? do you think it would be significantly more expensive?
