Also known as "Russian refactoring". Every self-respecting Russian programmer will always try and convice you to rewrite everything from scratch. Regardless of the context. I'm pretty sure it's in their DNA.

Where is it known as such? Googling "Russian refactoring" brings up nothing related. This is not strongly exhibited amongst me and my friends. Maybe we are not self-respecting.
