// TODO: refactor this entire module. - Dave, 2017 Dave left the company in 2019. Dave is probably living in a cabin in the woods, writing clean Rust, and laughing.
I’ve interpreted this as a developer’s humorous, dramatic, and terrified journey into debugging a legacy codebase that is so horrifyingly complex and fragile that the only rational response is an extreme overreaction: burn it all down . Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the console.log kill it with fire descenso por el nido de aranas codigo
That’s the only solution when you find yourself in a real spider’s nest. You don’t untangle it. You don’t debug it. You don’t "carefully document the side effects." // TODO: refactor this entire module
Then you start a new repo. You write clean code. You add tests. And you never, ever name a variable spider again. You don’t debug it
And maybe, just maybe, rm -rf the whole thing and lie on your timesheet.
A full rewrite. Not refactoring. Not "agile improvement."
