I don't remember who it was."Writing software is easy, changing it is hard." discuss order hn newest ryandvm|27 days ago Absolutely true. Especially so with poorly abstracted software design.This is why so many new teams' first order of business is invariably a suggestion to "rewrite everything".They're not going to do a better job or get a better product, it's just the only way they're going to get a software stack that does what they want.
