Company has a complex operation application existing in an older product software written in spaghetti code. They decide they need the application on the newer product, but set the requirements as "must work exactly like the older software". (They already had planned to kludge in much existing software to save time on a compressed schedule.) I rewrote the code in a much cleaner fashion, so it works the same. Old guard can't deal with new design; hands off further dev to new temp. #trainwreck
I came into the company from a much better software organization (who unfortunately was coupled with bad corporate management #anothertrainwreck). Wishing I was closer to a big city, so jobs were easier to find. #fml
