The way it was once told to me: Old developers have left. New ones come in. The systems the old devs built suck, so the new team convinces management to do a rewrite. The new devs don’t really understand the problems encountered by the old ones so they repeat all the same mistakes. New system, same problems. The lesson we’re supposed to take away “no one should ever do full rewrites”. It’s a stretch, but IMO the proper takeaway should be 1) really understand the old system and 2) have a very good reason before doing full rewrites. |
