    Mostly starting over code wise.

    I’ve had to rebuild a thing or two in my day, and building it the second time is always faster, but still, you’ve got to write all the crap over again.

    This will undoubtedly be way faster than doing a startup from scratch, but they’re literally starting from a position of having no code checked in at all.
