> Don't bother fighting the old; just build the new.

People love it when something they depend on is shut down and replaced with something new, incomplete, and buggy.

The people who like your new stuff will help you figure out how to fix it and make it good enough so the old system truly becomes obsolete, otherwise the old system will continue to exist and people will continue to use it, so that now, theres 2 options instead of just one.

This is a shittier outcome for most people, but hey, at least you got promoted!
