I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.

Are there any instances of this happening? Where something is designed with a flaw that doesn’t get realized until much later, necessitating scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch?

    Yep. Nothing sus. I also don’t have the time to do a deep dive. I need to work. It might be this chip. It might be my bluetooth headset (but I have issues with my mouse and keyboard too). I don’t have time to figure it out, so I just keep this on a copy paste ready terminal and if I have issue, I run the command and I’m good to go.
