Description

Forget everything you've heard about “greenfield projects” and “starting fresh” — because in real-world IT, the only thing truly clean is the marketing deck. Every new system we build carries the fingerprints, ghosts, and existential dread of every system that came before it. Legacy data, legacy decisions, legacy “temporary” hacks that became cultural heritage. In this episode, we’re diving into the myth of the clean slate, exploring why every “fresh start” is really just a remix of yesterday’s chaos — and why pretending otherwise usually results in today’s budget crying and tomorrow's engineers filing therapy claims. Buckle up: reset buttons are fake, and tech baggage travels free.
