 Jeroen walks us through his thinking on app development

After you've been working on an app for sometime, the most common quandry one runs into is the need to rewrite the app. We've all been there, there's technical debt, we've improved our understanding, the tools have become better, we've become better. So should you go back and just rewrite the whole app? Jeroen walks us through his thinking.
