Rewrite everything or live with it?

Riscrivere tutto o conviverci? · Engineering · Advanced

The case

The software your company runs on is 12 years old: obsolete tech, every change takes weeks, new developers flee after seeing it. Half the tech team pushes for a full rewrite (estimate: 18 months), the other half says total rewrite is suicide. Meanwhile competitors ship features monthly. How do you decide?

Il software su cui vive la tua azienda ha 12 anni: tecnologie obsolete, ogni modifica richiede settimane, i nuovi sviluppatori scappano dopo averlo visto. Metà del team tecnico spinge per riscriverlo da zero (stima: 18 mesi), l'altra metà dice che la riscrittura totale è un suicidio. Nel frattempo i concorrenti rilasciano funzioni ogni mese. Come decidi?
