My question is related with my yesterdays post about how (and of) to refactor 15y old codebase.
Let me rephrase the question a little. Considering big, successful companies, I imagine they started with code that was not great and at some point of time they faced situation that the code maintenance cost was to expensive, adding new features was a pain and scaling team size was no doable because of dependencies.
Did these companies followed the path of huge refactor on existing code? Or rather part of team was maintaining old system, when other were developing new system?
I am NOT asking about refactoring theory or approaches…. but I am asking about if you know a real use case? Or maybe all that big companies still have part of their codebase a crap and nobody dares to touch it?
