Scrap it. Rewrite. It can't be that complicated and if it is, it needs to go.

  Rarely a good answer. All of that complexity wasn't added for fun. Making a comment like this really shows ignorance in software development. While we all want to scrap and rewrite some projects, most of us know that it isn't as easy as it looks and you will be spending your time on the wrong thing. Also, I don't have any idea what to make of your comment "...and if it is, it needs to go.". Are you just trolling or do you really suggest that they shut the site down because it's complex?

    I think he's suggesting that if any part of the reddit codebase is too complex, then it needs to be ripped out.

  A sizable portion of reddit's recent success is owed to Digg's decision to do just this.
