Talk:Rewrite (programming)

By the logic presented - the dismissal of rewrites - we would all be clinging to old code... I think what typically happens is, any software that is ever written is successful - ONCE. After the success wears out - someone will pass it up, but very unlikely be the original developer. Software companies don't replace their own software, competitors replace other companies' software. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.188.21 (talk) 22:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
