@asgrim@phpc.socialDon't think you can handle a legacy codebase?
Just write a new one from scratch!
What could POSSIBLY go wrong!?
@asgrim Better idea: copy/paste your latest project and start from there.
@pierstoval MY projects are perfect, so yeah, that works 
@asgrim Dang, y u so perfect 
But I really saw this strategy as a real move towards "modernizing the project".
One of the companies that did that broke and closed years ago because of that.
@pierstoval does not surprise me whatsoever. Rewrites from scratch are an extremely risky proposition, I would never recommend it
@pierstoval @asgrim I have seen one rewrite “succeed“. All involved soon parted ways with the company.
@asgrim I was talking about rewrite from copy/pasting, I saw that ten years ago
Sometimes rewrite from scratch is necessary, but it needs to be done with the right strategy, audits, etc., and these are usually the things that are never done. (My latest experience on this: my current client )
@asgrim well all the old devs left and we switched languages to THE GOOD ONE which solved all THE PROBLEMS.
Business and customers are unhappy for some reason but they just hate innovation, we think.
None of the devs we have now think it was a bad idea!
@edorian hahahaha
