Oh god this turned into a vent session
I think back of what I left behind. And I feel bad.
But then I feel better because I remember the reason I left was that we outgrew our processes and codebase and we desperately needed a restructure but i got no support in doing so.
I bitched for years that it was a continuity risk and a performance nightmare. But no. "Deliver more features. Add more junk for use cases that brought us no business value." Never consider governance or security. Never consider best practices. Just more.
I knew eventually something bad would happen and I would be thrown under the bus. So I split. It was a good decision.
But yeah. Seone inherited a lot turd code
