Abstract
When I first heard about Daniel\´s and Ola\´s "insight" over dinner in Stockholm, I was reminded of my many experiences on large legacy systems. I remembered the original sense that we could do this in a short time, gradually digging the hole deeper and deeper, and finally having to step back and undo a lot of work. I never stumbled across the solution they present, but I could immediately see how powerful it would be. I hope you also find that this Scandinavian saga resonates with you!
