    Your options are an ugly wall that works or the beautiful lack of a wall.

      Sure, though having gone through an entire monorepo refactoring of like half a million lines to basically destroy the codebase and switch from vue 2 to vue 3 among other things, it’s also possible to build the new, better designed wall right behind the old one, test like hell against that wall, and then shift that wall in when it’s ready in a planned release, ready for the issues that come because that wall isn’t quite like the old wall

      Making the new wall is not a money generator. You would be insane if you think suits would waste money to rebuild something when it generated minimal to no additional revenue.

        True, I'm lucky to work for a company that was half founded by engineers who know the cost of compounding technical debt, which is almost never the case.

                    Geez, it's like coders are only happy when bashing other people's codes...

                    What do coders say when they're tasked with continuing some other coder's task? "This is all wrong".

                          I've rewritten much of my code as needs changed, I call myself an idiot a lot since I've worked on this program nearly a decade and was my first professional software so often change old code I wrote. Though it was more additional at first since I used a lot of code the lead programmer did. Though he duplicated everything as needed for a tiny change ugh. Least I know how not to do it.

                                      With the difference that code actually is easily changeable, if you need to change a wall you actually need to tear it down, get rid of the waste, likely tear everything down that was supported by it, and completely rebuild it with new materials.

                                      If you need to change the foundations of your code, yes, it's not always super easy, but it is actually possible and I've done it before without super big headaches.

                                      It's just not comparable.

                                        It absolutely is, you can partially tear down even a load bearing wall but it's expensive, difficult, and should have been avoided from the start.

                                        Kind of like building a whole infrastructure on spaghetti code.

                                          Ah, yes: weaponizing cybersecurity requirements to trick - I mean “motivate” - higher management to do things “right.”
