Quote:That is always the point... If nononee ever rewrote something that is thought to be well written, we would all still be coding in Fortran or A(PL).
I would agree you, but only to an extent.
When I work on my car, I don't first try and re-invent the lift.
The lift has worked well for what is does for many years.
That's not to say that is shouldn't be improved.
After 50 years of professional programming, I must say that I have seen
a lot of wasted time spent on attempting to re-write applications that are already
extremely good, instead of placing the effort on those that really need to be re-written.
