to be fair, I think such old codebase in that ancient of a language is going to have a lot of technical debt and predate maintainable code practices. I’d rather work with a modern language. Whatherver LLM spat out - having been trained on modern code - is going to be a lot more maintainable.

It’s an abstract analogy but i think it works… When the roof is really needed, it’s not possible to fix it because rain / deadline.
When it’s sunny, no deadlines, the hole doesn’t impede any work, so there’s no need to fix it, difficult to convince PM that it needs fixing.
“Are you willing to own the risk? If so, what will it look like? Can you budget additional time for addressing these bugs, and draft contingency plans?”

Even if you rebase you can still recover the original commits until they are garbage collected. You are generally safe as long as the
.gitdirectory isn’t deleted, in which case your whole history is gone anyway.
Sounds like a flawed workflow, if this didn’t go through at least code review. Was it committed directly to master?
Curious to know what kind of system relies on hashed not changing? Technically the hashes don’t change, but a new set of commits is made. The history diverges, and you can still keep the old master if you need it for some time, even cherry pick patches to it…
Fedora does this too, it reboots to install updates…

I cant believe bicycles and scooters are perceived as more dangerous than cars. They’re slower, offer better visibility, and kill way less people.



Could be understood as “take these words, and write them out in alphabetical order”. It’s not specifically stated whether letters inside those words should also be sorted or not.
We take it for granted that we have so much experience communicating, we can infer the meaning without full instruction, but children are still acquiring this knowledge and sometimes take things literally with hilarious results.
