For people outside the industry, it may not be common knowledge, but one of the most famous bits of technical writing of all time, was Joel Spolsky saying that you should *never* rewrite an entire code base β 25 years ago. www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/t...

18F, the federal governmentβs technology shop, was demolished by Muskβs team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

I enjoyed final architecture way more than shadows of the apt. Better writing and less melodrama. Haven't read tyrant philosopher yet though

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;
