Episode 52: The Two-Clock Problem

Isaac and Jeffrey discuss the 'two clock problem' as a metaphor for software rewrites. They explain that adding a new system doesn't improve understanding if you don't know how the current system is wrong. They also emphasize that rewriting a system without understanding the current system is costly and may not be worth it. Instead, they suggest spending more time understanding and documenting the current system to mitigate the need for a rewrite.
