Rewrite It From Scratch

Text on the meme

THE PROJECT I INHERITED HAS WEAK CODE. I NEED TO REWRITE IT FROM SCRATCH. WILL THERE EVER BE AN ENGINEER WHO SAYS, "THAT LAST GUY DID A GREAT JOB. LET'S KEEP ALL OF IT"? I'M HOPING THE IDIOT YOU HIRE TO REPLACE ME SAYS THAT.

What it means

Dilbert discusses rewriting a project he inherited because its code is weak. He sarcastically hopes that the idiot hired to replace him will claim the previous engineer did a great job, exposing the recurring cycle of software developers criticizing old code and later becoming the old code's author.
