When it's time to say goodbye to legacy code companies often find themselves walking in circles going back to old patterns and rebuilding the same things over and over again. At TalentReef we encountered these kinds of problems on every project we started to deprecate our system. Then we took a different approach, and didn't just challenge the code and processes of our legacy system but turned our attention to our SDLC and business practices to see where we were going wrong. We'll explore some of those findings to help you avoid them in the future or to use in your own rewrite.
