POINT OF VIEW: Rewriting an existing story is always a dicey proposition. Do you stick with the original manuscript and give it a fresh coat of paint and some new floors? Do you save some parts of it, tearing down to the foundation and gutted walls? Or do you build something brand new, inspired by the original but hopefully without its flaws, and with a different view? ...

So, thanks to Elon, we are again discussing the sense and nonsense of #rewrites.
My take on this: It’s usually a understandable but misguided reaction to a legacy codebase.
A complete from scratch rewrites risk ending up in an in-between state in which you have to maintain the new system but also cannot switch off the old one. A situation that is arguably worse than the situation you started from.

Seem to remember a time when I could write absolute 💩 and not overly worry about it til the second pass. This whole coming back from #burnout thing is a pain in the ass. #justsayin
