New Joel: Rub a dub dub (referring to “code scrubbing”,
an alternative to a possibly-suicidal full rewrite).
Funny quote: “Somewhere,
someone with a big stack of 4×6 cards is sharpening their pencil to poke
my eyes out. What do you mean you didn’t design your classes?”

quote: “Occassionally I would encounter a weird nugget in the code. These
nuggets were usually bug fixes that had been implemented over the years.
Luckily I could keep the bug fix intact. In many of these cases, I realized
that had I started from scratch, I would have made the same bug all over
again, and may not have noticed it for months or years.”
