Rules:
A place I work on data stuff continuously shoots themselves in the foot by not fixing things despite being in a pretty critical industry where the things their software fails to do would logically imperil the entire business. But by all means convert the 10 year old sign-in flow to a react app...
I worked on such a project in my old job. The application was the core product of their business and it was a sprawling mess that had evolved from constantly adding layers to a small proof of concept application.
There was never time for anything other than adding new features. You never got to fixing the architectural flaws or streamlining things. We couldn't even fix the ugly and confusing UI that every customer was complaining about.
And the sign-in flow was working just fine, right? Slap a new coat of CSS paint on it and move onto something that is actually broken!
