The Joel article is about not rewriting an existing application. TFA is not saying that Twitter should rewrite. It's saying that if you don't work for Twitter but you want to write something like Twitter maybe this could be a good place to start. At some point in time the same argument was made for relational databases despite there being stable systems built without them based on ISAM. The newer relational systems took a lot less work to implement but that didn't imply that it made sense to rewrite the ISAM based systems. |
