[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 124, Issue 11

[Fred Jensen]

Leaving the military in 1972, I supported my family in control system, 
communications, and software engineering, mainly for the military.  In 
due time I started leading more than one project at a time.  Since the 
open-source discussion came up on the list, I've combed my memory of all 
those projects past.  So far, I cannot come up with a single programmer 
[later "software engineer"] who, at least once, did *not* come to me and 
say, "The code's a mess, best thing to do is rewrite all of it."

I'll let everyone know if I remember one. :-))
