I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.
Are there any instances of this happening? Where something is designed with a flaw that doesn’t get realized until much later, necessitating scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch?

Alt text: Thomas Jefferson thought that every law and every constitution should be torn down and rewritten from scratch every nineteen years–which means X is overdue.
Your alt text doesn’t describe what is mentioned in the image though?
In this case “alt text” refers to Randall Munroe’s bonus punchlines he hides in the alt text on xkcd.org.
I’m not sure what people do there who need actual alt text.
