- 1+1 that is exactly how we approached it. Although the whole idea of 'starting over' is very unagile. How hard have you tried considering to substitute the old solution bit by bit?Kris Van Bael– Kris Van Bael2012-05-02 06:01:05 +00:00Commented May 2, 2012 at 6:01
- @KrisVanBael that's theoretically better (and definitely an ideal) but it's another of those "it depends" questions - some old solutions are really old (so one is looking at platform changes) or the process is wired/integrated into the system end to end and the "bits" can be rather large.Murph– Murph2012-05-02 08:19:41 +00:00Commented May 2, 2012 at 8:19
- I was working somewhere where the orginal was shipped to market very quickly and therefore the design was pretty bad. We had the idea of starting over with a better idea of what to do and hopefully better code. It never went ahead which was for the best cause the cost to benefit was not viable. If the existing system works then make small improvements to it overtime.aqwert– aqwert2012-05-02 21:02:44 +00:00Commented May 2, 2012 at 21:02

``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
