Keeping fiat money carries a risk of losing money due to unknowable future events (zombie apocalypse?). Is it gambling?

Agreed. I'd say my point still stands because duplicated database calls affect performance and scalability and this can grind the project to a halt at a certain point. Also this refactor is much more dangerous/probably buggy. On t

I mean, the way people bash PHP and praise javascript is completely ridiculous. The two languages are comparable at best in the amount of warts they have, while my firm opinion is that the js ecosystem is the most horrible thing in the wo

Not when the application was to supposed to handle the invalid data anyway before. Because you had to handle the zero case before right? The idea is that in the worst case you get an error message, not an altogether crash.

If most devs don't have time to refactor, then most devs have not had much experience doing refactoring, thus most devs are bad at refactoring. Sounds reasonable.
