Ask HN: How frequent do you rewrite from scratch?

1 points by beenpoor 11 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I am writing a template generator for my team and feel like I need to rewrite from scratch. I started couple of weeks back and already redid once. I feel like I need to rewrite and improve it again. It's frustrating to see how not-so-well-thought out my design was. Would love to hear some anecdotes.
