No, sorry, not Carol Srna. I don't know her. But which Carol S. is not nearly as important as recognizing the desire by the kids to 'clean up that old stuff' with 'something better', not realizing that working code (that is documented and whose source code is available, and is still maintainable) is an incredibly valuable asset that 'keeps on giving'.... :)
Yes, kids, make something new. But there are many disadvantages to reworking the old, just to update it (for no other reason). ("Trust me, kids. You'll find out...!")
