    If you do this enough you know how to design your solutions to be relatively flexible. At least for your backends.

    Your frontend will always churn, that’s the nature of the job.

      Yep. The trick is to be gone before anyone finds the gross stuff needed to make it all work.

    In consulting, that’s called “after work”. Got to pump those billables

    Honestly though, unless it’s a feature that is completely outside the domain of the application. If you have to re-write your entire app then your app was probably dog shit to begin with

    This literally happened in my meeting last week. Top position development manager was complaining the existing thing was shit. Basically means we have to build a new thing from scratch. And guess what? The deadline is 12 Sep.

    If you think it was shit why did you let them do what they did in the past?
