🗒️ Conversation Summary: Developers discuss the need for a discussion on code quality for Bitcoin due to poor documentation, module isolation, thread usage, long build times, style guide, and hardcoded values. Suggestions for a complete rewrite are met with disagreement, with some suggesting refactoring instead. The importance of clean and well-documented code is emphasized, with suggestions for creating a new clean code base and introducing NetworkParameters abstraction. There is a debate over the arbitrary nature of the constant value of 21 million in Bitcoin's code.
