Some people say never "rewrite the code from scratch" because it is the "single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make". Other people say "never say never". Maybe sometimes it makes sense to rewrite at least partially the code base? Maybe not? I will discuss at length this interesting idea in a later blog … Continue reading On Rewriting Software

On Progress
I have a couple of words to say about Papermerge's development progress - is painfully slow. It is so not because lack of commitment of work - it is so because of the nature of "progress". Progress is done in small, incremental steps with a lot of experimenting, trials and errors between each step.

You never know when you will be asked for copy of your document showing your salary/income from 5, 10 or maybe even 30 years ago!
