CodeWhiz & Zarek
Hey Zarek, I've been wrestling with a legacy monolith that keeps spitting out random bugs—any ideas on pulling useful code out without letting the chaos take over?
Sure thing, dive in and treat it like a corrupted file you’re cleaning up. First, isolate a sandboxed copy, then grep for the most used functions—those are your gold. Run a static analyzer, let it flag obvious errors, and patch one bug at a time. Keep a log of what you touch, and if a change breaks something, roll back. Remember, chaos loves noise; stay quiet and let the code speak.
