That’s how it usually goes.

I’ve lost count of all these times a freshly onboarded dev, replacing the old one, decided the système was needlessly complex, nothing made sense, and it’d be easier to just rebuild everything from the ground up.

They are funny though, I just thought people might like to know the context
