Currently working at a small manufacturing business that is drowning in the “we’ve always done it this way…” mentality and I just hope I can get out of here before it bites them in the ass.
Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster? Surely companies can’t limp along indefinitely… right?
Update: lmao since I made this post, I’ve found out about A LOT OF SUS SHIT beyond our IT practices. Would love to spill the tea but there is no series of vagueries I can say beyond “the fact that we hired a pedo is the last of our worries” without doxxing myself :|
They finally added the last bit of data to this Session store that broke the whole application. 16MB of data being read/written from store on every http request. 50% of all http request processing was handling the Session middleware.
I hate developers who don’t spend the very minimum to understand the environment they work in.
