Can't agree more here. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "this code is spaghetti, let's start over". I love clean architectures as much as anyone, but good developers are not afraid to jump into foreign spaghetti code, make precision cuts with a scalpel, and sew it all back up validated by robust automated tests. Drop the desire for simplicity; instead learn, embrace, and manage the complexity.
