If you have been working on something significant with a large team for a while now, chances are that you have quite a bit of legacy code lying around now. Your legacy code is valuable to you - It works in production and provides value to your users. On the other hand, it impedes your progress. You need to rescue it... Here are some articles I wrote about this topic:

• Changes and Simplicity You will only have a system that is easy to change if your design is really simple.
• 6 Reasons Why You Should Avoid SingletonsThe "Singleton Pattern" has no place in a modern software design. Remove this pattern from your legacy code wherever you find it.
• Smaller Steps Why you should work in smaller steps. And have a save point you can revert to when something goes wrong.
• Simple Design Passes It's Tests Why you need tests to have a good software design.
• Well Crafted Code, Quality, Speed and Budget Well crafted code will ship faster, and here I explain why. This is basically the reason why you should work hard to improve your legacy code.

Don't let your legacy code slow you down. Don't throw away the valuable stuff in it by rewriting everything - That will take a long time and brings a lot of risk. Try to rescue your legacy code!
