  • I disagree.

    Rewrites can happen due to new feature support.

    For examlle: It’s entirely possible that a synchronous state machine worked for the previous needs of the software, but it grew to a point where now that state machine is unable to meet the new requirements and needs to be replaced with a modern fam with asynchronous singals/delegates.

    Just because that system was replaced doesn’t mean that it wasn’t maintainable, wasn’t readable, or easy to understand. It just wasn’t compatible with the growing needs of the application.







  • Is it an advertisement trying to get you to buy something, or is it a public service announcement with no intent to sell you something?

    If the EFF bought up ad-space to push PSAs about net neutrality and garner support and person action, would you be miffed? I wouldn’t, because that’s not really an “advertisement” .

    Edit: Yes, I know VPN behind this has a profit motive. But sometimes businesses stand up and advocate for personal action for the betterment of all. Just like Pornhub in states & countries that are requiring ID verifications are redirected to a page advocating for personal action for your rights instead of complying with a security nightmare.
