Managing legacy code while introducing new features requires a balanced approach that respects the existing system while fostering innovation - I start by thoroughly understanding the legacy code, identifying its strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement - I advocate for small, incremental changes that modernize the codebase without disrupting ongoing operations. By implementing a modular approach, I ensure new features can coexist with the old system seamlessly - Encouraging open communication within the team is key, allowing for brainstorming and feedback to refine ideas.

Managing legacy code while working on new features can be tricky, but I try to find a balance. I make small, gradual improvements to the old code so it doesn’t slow down new development. This way, I can keep adding new features while fixing issues in the old code. I also use things like feature flags or branches to work on new features without breaking anything that’s already working. By making small changes, I can keep improving the code without stopping new ideas from moving forward.

Start by analyzing recent releases: • Are specific modules frequently buggy? • Do new features demand too many hacks? If yes, gradually tackle the legacy code: • Don’t rewrite everything at once. Break it into manageable chunks. • Prioritize critical modules and refactor incrementally. • This approach minimizes disruption while keeping innovation alive. Always keep business needs and timelines in mind to ensure progress.

Mantener código heredado mientras se desarrollan nuevas funciones es un desafío, pero no debería frenar la innovación. Aquí tienes cómo gestionar ambos aspectos de manera efectiva: Flags de características (Feature Flags): Prueba nuevas funciones de forma segura sin comprometer la estabilidad del sistema. Refactorización incremental: Divide grandes cambios en pasos manejables para minimizar interrupciones. Revisiones de código: Fomenta la colaboración y la retroalimentación temprana para identificar posibles problemas.
