It's somewhat refreshing. Most of the software project I work[ed] on start out
clean, expectations change, requirements change and of course these happen AFTER
to have started to code, so your code changes.

You end up with shit code.

Of course clients come back and ask if you can add >foo< to the the <system>.
You pitch the re-write, you pitch the re-design, but they want to use the same
shit.

I agree with Linus, K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid.
