if you are writing experimentally,
you may want to rip up the function
you wrote last week

there are architectural problems
this is why reuse is so hard

architects
get to a site
bulldoze the place

splitting strings into arrays of strings



even fairly major architectural changes can be done without throwing away the code
don't rewrite the whole thing
1% of the work gets you 99% of the bang


the idea that new code is better than old is absurd
