in reply to How do you avoid "Code Burnout"?

I just want to throw all the code away and start from scratch.

Do it. Problem solved. Really, I'm not joking.

    Which problem does that solve, the problem of having working code that does something useful? As far as problems go, I'd love to be cursed with that one more often.

      Blockquoth the root post:

      The problem is that I just want to throw them all away, start from scratch (on paper), and rewrite them.

      So, that problem.

      Rewrite the code, develop a nice, shiny, new interface for it. Clean up the internals, hell, maybe even write it in a more maintainable language (like ASM </troll> ;-P).

      Really, you'll feel much better :).
