Start again vs make it better - upfront conf talk

“pretty design but bad code”

Some one once told me the bravest thing a person can do is admit they have made a mistake and start again from the beginning. The advice was regarding a college fine art project, but can be applied more and more to front end development.

A poorly thought through codebase, wether he result of poor planning, a change in business direction or out dated technologies will always create problems. These problems can range from poor loading times or specificity issues to ……

These foundations will only get worse the more they are built on top of, regardless of how good the ‘new code’ is.
