Sure, it just depends. Quite often, I've found that modifying someone elses code takes orders of magnitude longer, than just writing it yourself.

- dusklight 18y agothe difficulty of modifying somebody else's code is proportional to your own programming skill.
- axod 18y agoYeah I'm not sure that's actually true :) Would you rather build a porche, or try to convert a clapped out old volvo into a porche? Tidying up rubbish, bad architecture choices, stupid coupling etc isn't fun. It's twice the work - fixing all the stuff they did stupidly, and then implementing it how it should be done.
