> It's cheaper (and often faster) to have cheaper, less disciplined, less experienced developers rewrite something multiple times than it is to have more expensive, more disciplined, more experienced developers write something and maintain it.

I can't believe this. I've seen the sheer difference in speed and maintainability a single solid web developer can deliver in a framework they are familiar with versus teams of more Jr developers who spin their wheels for weeks. Rewriting when you don't even understand the starting point is always a waste of money.

> It's also harder to keep the more experience developers because most developers I work with start looking for another job when their project goes into maintenance.

This certainly resonates though. I've been that developer more than once.
