This post talks about completely throwing away the old code base - rewriting
- and not refactoring. The former is typically motivated by the universal
disdain one feels about inherited code and a certain amount of hubris, the
second is motivated by pragmatism, and a need to change the code base to
make it more maintainable and extensible. Two completely different things!

cheers,
Vijay
