      Hope you are good at explaining the benefits of rewriting bad code.

        That’s easy. If you rewrite the bad code now, that creates work and costs. If you leave it as is, it might go through for a few years and is somewhat likely to be someone else’s problem by then. /s

        Absolutely!
