Resurrecting a Dead Library: Part One - Resuscitation

Read Original

This article is the first part of a series on resurrecting the 'ingredient-phrase-tagger', an open-source Python library from The New York Times for parsing recipe ingredients into structured data. The author describes finding the codebase in a poor state and outlines a three-phase plan: resuscitation, stabilization, and rehabilitation. It covers the initial challenge of making the legacy code run on modern systems and the author's motivation for using it to replace an unsustainable regex-based parser in their own project, KetoHub.
