Full rewrites of working software are bad choices.<br /><br />Then again, budgeting time to incremental refactoring and replacement is what makes you stable and sustainable, long-term.Dean Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862185746791036769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862020842190234802.post-10822628198887145392010-08-27T16:36:47.346-04:002010-08-27T16:36:47.346-04:00Well said, Mr. Chief Architect.
