If you are starting from scratch, sure.

Real life is more complicated, and even if the organisation willpower and politics are aligned in a way to _want_ to fix it, this takes a long time.

Chastising someone on HN because they own a system that probably wasn’t designed and might not have the power to fix seems at best, a little unfair.

I agree, there are many reasons why bad systems architecture might remain in place due to inertia, lack of resources, organisational politics, etc.

I didn't chastise anyone.

Sorry, that wasn’t addressed to you specifically, just aiming upwards in the thread.
