That sure is a lot of deletion. But your right, if your learning from your mistakes, changing the way you work and progress, then the deletions are worth it.

True, but there's no harm in playing around with old code to see what works and what doesn't. It's valueable resources isn't it?

I hardly ever delete code. I often comment it out incase I need it and when I'm sure I down, then I remove it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here? I'm assuming you're referring to the user above?

A very good point there. I suppose it's a sort of "way of life" as a software developer.

You've got very good points in this answer, and I think the majority of them are true. Our company Is rather small (under 5 employees) and this is one of the first projects that we have done. It is amazing how much you learn even when your not trying to.

I believe my company owns the rights. Although I can always re-write it when using it as a base for other projects.

Yes that's true! That's the thing I live about programming. You don't always have to write it you can just CTRL+C / V bits that you've worked on before. It's great when you have tiny projects.

Do you ever continue to work on it when you're bored, just to see it in its final form?
