That may be good value for big established corporates, but for startups and smaller companies I don't think it is.

Well (on a relative scale), won't most startups or smaller companies be more in the phase of "writing" as opposed to "re-writing"? I think the advice above would in theory apply to companies big enough to have legacy codebases.
