Lessons learned from rewriting code in my 10 years as a developer

We were building a new team for the corporate product, product owner of AntiMalware was leaving the team, our CTO was taking the responsibility and becoming the new owner (Big mistake, I will explain why). If you fall into this trap too and start thinking “I should rewrite the software from scratch”, consider to ask these questions I believe every developer should ask before taking the first step to code rewriting. You will be in an extremely dangerous position where you will have to ship an old version of the code for months or years, completely unable to make any strategic changes or react to new features that the market demands because you don’t have a shippable code.
