A large section of a tree has just blown off and hit my local bank - I'm not sure which branch it was.

Perhaps the branch manager fell off the twig?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

At work I am working on a product rework, let's call it v2 (with the original product being v1).
It feels like 1,000 years ago I was pulled out of v2, because "there was just that 1 super critical thing to fix in v1"... still on v1 today!
Oh well, such is life of a software developer I guess!
|
|
|
|
|
It can get even worther: if the bug in v1 is fixed, that managment can change their minds and say "Now that the bug is fixed, we dont need a v2"
In product reworks I learned the lesson that refactoring is fun when the original code is written "clean code"
Press F1 for help or google it.

Been there done that! , if it so supercritical to fix it in V1 wouldn't it be better to let us Finish V2...

Yes that's what microsoft does, (vs2013, 2015, 2017, now talking up 2019)
and the result is there are no more finished version. And it's another reason ms is loosing trust of it's customers.
So no, it's NOT better to let you finish V2,
you should fix the V1 before giving users the new headaches of V2
- it's poor service to do otherwise (notwithstanding V1 was supposed to be delivered working properly)

Engineer's thinking: V1 is not fit for purpose. It was written by an idiot; it's hopelessly over-engineered and it would take more effort to get the damned thing working than it would take to replace it with the clean, simple app that was required in the first place. Given that this garbage is going to cost us a veritable fortune to maintain, a rewrite will save us pouring a whole heap of good money after bad.
Bean-counter's thinking: We've already spent a huge amount on V1 and if we were to take nothing from it but lessons, that would be money badly spent. The future is for Nostradamus to predict, I'm trying to square last year's balance sheet.
The world is, of course, run by bean-counters rather than engineers. This is actually a very good reason for this: In a world run by engineers, things would just work and there'd be very little for either engineers or bean-counters to do. Whereas in a world run by bean-counters, neither engineers nor bean-counters will ever be short of work. Don't see it as stupidity, see it as an ingenious job creation scheme!

That's just crazy talk!
Why build the Taj Mahal when you could build a massively dysfunctional PO system for the same price?
You clearly didn't spend enough time at bean-counting school!
