Lets face it, no programmer is happy with the previous programmers code
to some degree. The impulse is to rewrite. I'm supervising someone who
is very similar to me in style, she likes to rewrite my code, and I have
to tell her not too. She says it's so she can 'understand' it.
Always nicer to maintain code that works than code that doesn't.
Rewriting code really can help to understand it [SNIP]
That's fine - just don't check it in, unless you're willing to run all the
regression tests yourself or get your ass kicked by QA. :)
This article contains a few convincing arguments:
