  • I’ve been in holes similar to this, eventually finding the right medication is the only thing that lifted me out. Once I thought I was gone forever, could hardly talk, same as you head full of memories of the person I used to be. But the right anti-depressant (and getting off anti-psychotics) pushed the right brain buttons and I was able to get out.

    Things can take time to change, but they can and will change, I’m sure of it. This isn’t your fault, there’s a new you in your future.







  • It depends on how much regression testing is in place to test that old and refactored code behaviours have the same outputs, and how much budget there is for writing this tests.

    For old financial systems for example, the answer is often to repeat the code again, as there’s likely to be little tests to confirm existing behaviour and writing tests around very complex business domains is prohibitively expensive.
