On: Strangler pattern, a powerful simple concept to do...

(2004)

Adopted a similar pattern recently on a project, results aren't fully in yet, but it looks like it might work.

However, while I understand the reluctance about rewrites, in my personal experience they have actually been very successful.

So beware the absolutes. Always beware the absolutes ;-)

I see some people didn't get the (self-contradicting) joke. I probably should have put it in quotation marks, or appended a smiley-face.

Or they didn't think that simply repeating the self-contradicting joke already made added anything to the conversation?
