  Rebuilding your system from scratch once you become 'successful' sounds impossible. You never are successful enough. As you grow, the system gets larger and harder to rewrite from scratch. From a business perspective it makes absolutely no sense to ditch what created your success. It is idealistic, and would be great if it could work that way. However, it is a bit naive.

    agree - I've seen complete 'enterprise' re-writes of 'non-enterprise' projects at multiple large companies All of the ones I've witnessed were big spectacular failures, especially since they didn't involve the 1st 'fired' team.
