If possible, you could try to get the requirements and design to those and write something new.
If that’s not possible, I would start flow-charting. I always do it by hand in whatever tool you have handy. Some languages have tools that can do this for you (Go and Java and I think PHP to name a few) if it’s that big of a mess. From there, find your inputs and outputs and go back to the “rewrite it” part.
That’s gonna be a big ‘nope’ from me. I wonder if that’s US-only, though.
I’m not sure I know what you’re asking. Many people use established engines and many of those engines are still under active development to add features, tune performance, etc. Some people also choose to write their own, either for learning/fun or for more specific usecases.
We were going to destroy it in an oven after printing, but the whole “pre-heating” thing led to a not-yet-resolved argument.
I was thinking of giving piefed a shot. Any further reading on this?
Edit: Why on earth is this so downvoted? I was thinking of switching from mbin to piefed, saw this, and asked for elaboration. FFS.
I looked at code I wrote about a year ago today. Yeah, there are things I would’ve done differently now, but I had no trouble following it. Some of the choices I made were company standards at the time as well which, thankfully, have improved.
I mostly work in Go, but I helped maintain one project written in Elixir for a while. It was rather interesting. It’s certainly a different way of thinking. It does reduce the risk of certain side effects but, as with everything, it has its own downsides.
No, I stopped using it suddenly years ago (my dad and spammers were the only ones contacting me and it was mostly the spammers).

/ Still not great I guess
We have copilot as an automatic code reviews. It mostly catches my bad spelling, occasionally finds a real issue, and often is incorrect.
Yep. I can’t spell today
Not necessarily obscure, but I don’t think Tries get enough love.
Edit: I can’t spell
I assumed it was a personal name, but I don’t know.

/ If your language has 58 ways to accomplish something like that, you’re in for a bad time.
Such hits as ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘x’, and ‘y’. I know the version of the language we were using didn’t have native utf-8 support, so I don’t think kanji varnames were possible. It even made comments in kana and kanji really wonky (I think the comments were shiftjis)
You got 3 letters?! Luck!
I worked at a japanese company whose engineers we’re former NTT developers. Copypasta (i.e. not using functions), inefficient algos, single-letter var names, remote code execution from code as root, etc. good times!
We’re stuck on Mac at work and I hate it.
I’d love to at some point but, last I heard, it breaks the felica and wallet integration which I need to do japanese government stuff (and use the train and such)
It’s bamboo common here in rural Japan. We have two types, one of which has edible shoots in the spring so there’s that at least. It does hold the ground together along the riverbank so I never plan on fully ripping it up; last thing I need is for a chunk of my property to slide off in the next big quake.
My company GitHub has copilot do code reviews. That is the extent of my AI use. I’ve had to correct copypasta from AI agents that coworkers used that was just wrong.
