"I think the whole EU should be reformed" reads exactly like a junior dev demanding a full rewrite from scratch.

Sometimes you have to rewrite from scratch when the original is broken beyond repair and institutional knowledge is lost.

A young dev may have an easier time seeing this.

  • Devs should not recommend rewrites until they have a workable plan on how to move forward without a rewrite, so they can compare the costs of rewrite vs. no rewrite.
