Distinguishes intermediate engineers (people who are totally capable of designing systems, but aren't capable of delivering things inside of huge messes, so they instead avoid it and go off over in a corner and say "I've got a replacement for that messy thing, I just can't replace the ugly thing so now we have to support my new smart beautiful module, plus the old code that I couldn't understand") from senior engineers who know that the grand rewrite will never happen and, if it does, it'll happen by mostly fully understanding where things are coupled and by shipping tiny changes inside the existing code until it's been strangled and can be removed
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Another brilliantly enlightened comment.
