> "Try different ways to refactor it. Tomorrow, show me your best solution."

The cost/benefit analysis doesn't add up for two reasons:

First, a refactored codebase works almost the same as non-refactored one, that is, the tangible benefit is small.

Second, how many times are you going to refactor the codebase? Once and... that's it. There's simply no need for that much compute for lack of sufficient beneficial work.

That is, the present investments are going to waste unless we automate and robotize everything, I'm OK with that but it's not where the industry is going.
