These "success stories" are so funny.

"The old way was all over the place so instead of improving the existing thing, I completely rewrote everything from scratch and now everything is cool. Yay me/us!".

Why couldn't you just upgrade the dependencies once then set up the same CI/CD you're presumably using for Svelte so that you can them upgrade versions easily?

I had a water pipe crack in the cement foundation of my house. Just and old pipe. The plumber drained and capped the pipe then ran a new pipe around my house in the ground. Next time it breaks it can be fixed. Rewrites aren't bad and usually quicker if you keep a lid on features. All your realy doing is writing down the business rules again.

Is there an app, except for "Hello world", that's as simple as a pipe?

They always forget about all of the bugs they have not found in their new app.
