> If that does happen, it’s usually inexperienced (or bad) engineers.

I agree with you. And that is where I was at that time. I did not have enough experience as a Software Engineer, nor with CakePHP — hence decided to rewrite. Mistakes were made.

I really like your comment about "re-architecture". I 100% agree with you.

A friend of mine is migrating the company's IaC to TS as we speak because a new manager who recently joined the company decided to do it with no good reason.

Despite it not being news for lots of people, I am always surprised how many actually still fall into the trap. Somehow, software engineers are very opinionated people, and opinions are often a reason to begin such a journey of rewriting a piece of software that needs no rewrite.
