Yeah, if you ended up doing it as a single massive PR how can you ever be sure that existing functionality was preserved?

Yeah short term you need to use it to keep up with your competitors.

So short term you need to use their products to keep up with competitors, but longer term they effectively replace your companies ability to prove a value add.

Seems like its lose-lose.

Ugh. As a teen in the aughts interested in computers two things stuck with me. Sitting in his lap and "helping" my dad do SQL modules as he job hunted after the dot com crash, and "discovering" the Zen of Python and Python many years later.

Never really ended up using Python outside one-off scripts and personal stuff but learning the magick of making silicon do work for you and principles for that really stuck with me as I went to high school and beyond.

RIP :'(
