A comment on Why programmers are not paid in proportion to their productivity (2009). Parent comment
Started on the rewrite, noticed it wasn't gonna go anywhere, asked to switch to maintaining the money maker.
Didn't need to refactor much: the code quality was VASTLY superior than the new system. However I not-so-silently worked on a redesign.
After four years not working there, the old system is still running full steam. The new one was shelved.
