good developers knowing the word "refactoring"
while you do refactoring the behavior MUST NOT change

bad developers are throwing all away, starting from scratch, getting
frustrated after a while because they recognize how much work would
it be to write all the existing things again - and so they decide
to decalre that all what they could not implement in der "new big thing"
is not needed and all is perfect as it is now - and sadly they seem
to believe what they try to sell the users

i know that now the next comes out and says "but they are getting not paid"
well - and if i make things not for the money i normally would not loved
to called a moron by the majority of users and if i do not want this
i have to act in a way that does not spit users in their face
