Re:How to Earn a Technical Co-Founder by jeffasinger on Wednesday May 04, 2016 @12:35PM (#11629532)
I worked at a company where the founder had started with some local contractors to build an initial version of the product.

He hired a CTO, who took a look at the current code, list of bugs, and new features desired, and made the call to do a complete rewrite.

In retrospect, this was absolutely the right call. It can definitely be wasteful, but sometimes starting with a completely new design is the right thing to do.
