The old engineering adage “Don’t touch it, it works” is terrible. Don’t listen to it. It might be OK at a small scale, but as time goes by, the bit rot spreads through your code and servers polluting everything. Large swaths of your system become “no-man's-land.” As you’re developing a new system, you must always “touch it” and make sure we hire engineers who aren’t afraid to do so.
Yes, I get it. I said that sentence frequently in the past. I understand the motivation. Management doesn’t care about the bit rot in our future. They care about the here and now. Why are you wasting time on this feature?
