And when your room is <i>so</i> dirty that there are bugs in the walls, termites eating the wood, the thermostat is leaking mercury, the ceiling is dropping lead paint + asbestos, and the foundation is cracked and pulling the house apart ...<p>you burn your house down, and start over.<p>As technology people, I agree that we lean far too heavily towards the &quot;rewrite it&quot; option than we should. But that doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s <i>never</i> the right option.
