A love letter to legacy projects
▻https://24daysindecember.net/2018/12/13/a-love-letter-to-legacy-projects
Monday morning. Your previous project just wrapped up, and they are going to assign you a brand new one. They even promised you the lead on this project. Who said Mondays couldn’t be great?
A few hours later and you are staring at the most dreadful code you have ever seen — controllers of more than a thousand lines, PHP that injects jQuery in the views, raw SQL statements that could challenge a Dostoyevsky novel in size. The list goes on and on. This Monday is going to need a ton of coffee.
The previous few lines might sound very familiar to you. You might even be working on a project like this at this very moment. If that is the case, … lucky you.
ouh, ça me parle, oulah, la la, ça me parle :-)
