Really glad to see this rebuttal. I understand the sentiment behind the post from the other day, and most days when I look at the repos I work on, I feel the same way, but it just isn't true in a general sense. We write code because it is _bottom-line_, valuable as fuck. It really boils down to: time is the most expensive asset around.

This debate does bring up a very interesting thing though: At what point do you ditch the old code and re-write the whole damn thing? (I am currently struggling with this)
