C0D4681977yI’m a corporate junkie 😂
New projects = new tech
Old projects = slowly upgrade
Grave yard = I wish I could turn this system off already. -
Sekhat637yIf the system works, can still be deployed and developing it further isn't a complete nightmare. There's no reason to change the underlying tech. You'd do better refactoring and making that code as easy to maintain as possible.

Even looking back at my last project I wish I could have done it better...
The constant strive for improvement is a good thing!
But yeah every company has some software gremlins that should just be left to hold up half the company. -
I would love to see how your genius "new developers" perform without open source frameworks, package managers and stack overflow. You are missing the context there a bit bro.

@Sekhat sometimes all the reference you had would be books and the Help menu on your IDE.

jinryu1287y@C0D4 man! That graveyard feels. It's like "grandpa, you've done enough. I cant do anything for you. Time to call it quits. Thank you!"

Hi guys! This is my first rant, please be easy on me.
This is for all who always rant about how horible old codes on existing systems are, compared to what new tech they knew and how better they are as programmers compared to the seniors in the team and how they could have done it better... im getting an impression that it's either your a newbie on a corporate world or a freelancer that has not worked well with a system whos been there for ages... first, most of us devs thinks that they can do better than the previous ones, it is a never ending curse for us proud race but as time goes we would also regret our decision..2nd: cost.. migrating a battle-tested / fully functional system to a new tech would take time and money including training, which the management wont agree unless of course you do it for free.. 3rd: standards.. the company has built a pretty solid standards that changing to a new tech would affect it..there are so many more reasons that the only thing we can do is accept our fate.. coding is fun until the system grows to become an abomination that even its creator regret doing it... it's not our fault, blame the marketting guys! :D
Thank you for reading!
