Oh God this is where I'm at now. A series of questionable decisions over the past 7 years have now solidified our codebase into a horrible set of patterns that make even adding a single new database column that we need to feed to the frontend a Herculean task. It's so demotivating.
This is where the fun begins for some of us. Coming in to a codebase that has been growth focused for 10 years but now needs to be rock solid and yet also allow the next 10 years growth.
It would be fun if that's what I was tasked with doing, but instead I'm doing feature development, and being asked why this small simple things are taking so long...
Yeah definitely. I've been giving feedback about this for around 2 years and there's some movement, but there doesn't seem to be anyone at the company driving architectural decisions, so nothing really seems to be going anywhere.

Yeah, and that sucks for sure. And it's a measure of management quality as to how they incorporate your feedback on this
