> forcing function to clean up tech debt The real reason rewrites to fix tech debt used to fail was that it took too long to get to feature partity & the goal posts moved constantly while you were on the rewrite team. The sunk cost of existing code is no longer considered in a rewrite. Maybe it was hard to write in the first place, but it is not hard to rewrite anymore, as long you've got decent tests. | ||||||||
