I generally prefer to edit the old one; demerphq generally perfers to write a new one.

I go both ways, but i like to have rollback patches for my major development points. So once I feel a node is stable but will continue to work on it, ill usually start a new patch at that point. Also, there is a magnification factor for whoever does minor changes on old infrastructure noes. The old node needs a backup patch first, so effectively you get 2x patches for each old code patch. Since ive done a number of "clean up old code" sessions I have a lot more patchs becuase of it. A recent one probably added about 50 patches to my roster, but only involved a few hours work.

(This isn't to say that demerphq hasn't done more then I have; he has.)

Personally i dont measure things like this. I may have pumped out more code (probably becuase you had a life and i didnt :-), but youve been essential to me doing so many times. As you know full well, i can ask a lot of stupid questions in a short amount of time. :-)
