Isn't that survivorship bias in action? Good solutions that not only work, but work well and don't hit the tech limitations would never be seen like developers like you, because they would never need to be rewritten.



I am not sure how this comment contributes to the thread. It is a bias because I write my real-world experiences? What you are saying is true for so many things. Car that does not break does not need a mechanic. Of course, and nobody is disputing that. This comment just made me laugh so hard I had to reply.


I apologize if my comment upset you or was offensive to you in any way. I only meant to notice that your comment paints a picture of all such projects being awful, and this may not be a faithful representation of reality.

If you didn't mean to paint such a picture, I'm sorry for misunderstanding.


THAT comment contributes nothing to the thread.
