If so, why did they write the code that way to
begin with? Was everything even slower then or
did they simply not give it much thought?
Refactoring may be difficult but writing
modular code to begin with is obviously much
easier than the opposite as small modules can
be developed and tested individually so
debugging and everything else is much easier.
