The database is OK, I suppose, but the entire UI needs to be rewritten from the ground up, and we don't have time for that. / Ki: What about reusing some UI code from something we've already done? / Nick: To me, it's all new.

GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 3, 2008 Narrator: A few days later... / Dwayne Duncan: Nick, I'm really impressed... / Dwayne Duncan: Not only did you write a new spec document for the old system, but your new design is nearly fleshed out.
