Oh sure, just casually migrate 10TB of legacy database like it's a Sunday afternoon hobby! That sounds like a delightful 6-month project involving zero documentation, mysterious foreign keys, and at least three stored procedures written by someone who quit in 2009. But wait—plot twist! Someone wants you to rename the Android app. You know, just change a few strings here and there, update the package name, refactor literally everything, rebuild all the signing configs, update every single reference in the codebase, and pray Google Play doesn't reject your submission. Totally the same level of effort, right? The absolute AUDACITY of treating a simple rename like it's less complex than moving an entire database infrastructure is sending me into orbit. One is a career-defining migration saga, the other is a "quick favor" that somehow breaks your entire CI/CD pipeline.
