  Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes on a code base can reveal some opportunities for big improvements in maintainability 😜

    Ahahhahhahha. Ha…ha. Ahem.

    Sorry. The idea that any of the opportunities for improvement at my last “job A” code base might need “revealed” struck me as really funny.

    Sometimes it takes a new dev coming in for management to give the greenlight for a major overhaul. It shitty, but it is true.

    Opportunity is my managers favorite word. I even got him an ink stamp that said “certified opportunity”

  As long as their salary keeps increasing, I’d say go for it!

  Recently switched jobs from maintaining a 15 year old Windows Forms .NET Framework legacy codebase.

  At the new job we stick to Clean Architecture, use unit and integration tests, have a code generation tool, actually make nice use of generics and use dependency injection. Also agile processes, automatic build tools, whatever. The difference is night and day and I’m so glad my ex boss fired me because I told him he’s an asshole and his codebase is shit.

    My first job out of college I have been able to see a steady improvement in the codebase. A little while ago I had to go back to an old tag and was horrified with what it used to be and impressed how much it improved.

  Project A: Has 6 different implementations of the same complex business logic.

  Project B: Has one implementation of the complex business logic… But it’s ALL in one function with 17 arguments and 1288 lines of code.

  I left a company when management decided to discontinue a product right after we finally made its code more maintainable.
