Ah ok, I’m sorry if that sounded silly  I do want to share but you’re all right. It’s safer not to. Suffice to say, it’s scathing and thorough

Had lunch with a old coworker yesterday. Highlights include: New engineer that joined a month before I left got the gently caress out a week after I left. There is one last engineer left who is now in charge of integrating the 70% done project I left into our server application with no help from anybody else. The integration code was maybe 20% done when I left. They stopped paying for slack, which has blocked all the previous logs and chats I have had that may have helped him. They refuse to pay $2500 for a gitlab enterprise license which has expired and has blocked them from using the git server. There are no offsite backups and the CEO refuses to ask me for help. The CEO is now starting to think that the company should just sell its enclosures and not it’s own products. I never thought I could actually do that kind of damage to a company.  Edit: As a reminder, my initial leaving was because they refused to give me a $40,000 raise from 80 to 120 for doing full stack embedded Linux work.

I just didn’t think my leaving was going to lead to that much damage that quickly. I am very happy to get out when I did.

Holy poo poo, I’m the main point person on our push to kill off and split up an old legacy system and bring it into our newer stuff, and I am loving it up so badly. Every time I think we’ve accomplished a new milestone some new insight on how the legacy system works or some data relation is clarified and I have to interview/meet with people to determine if what I’ve got is actually what they expect or if I need to change it up. I feel like I’m stumbling over so much poo poo in the way of doing the work.  Am I bad at my job?

Shirec, I'm specifically not requesting to see the review in case this all somehow leaks out in a horrible mess. I don't want to be potentially part of the group of culprits. I would recommend against sharing so much information because it takes one horrible human being to ruin it. And if there's one thing I've learned over the past few years, there are a lot of horrible human beings. Hell, your manager was one! I think I've lived vicariously through your enough to appreciate the suffering and feel the rage. Having the name of the company isn't really useful to me because I have no ambitions to do web development in Chicago. If there are Chicagoons that want to know where this place is specifically to avoid it, then can just PM Shirec companies to which they're applying and you can just tell them whether they're okay or not. That's probably safer than flat out saying it.

I feel like I’m stumbling over so much poo poo in the way of doing the work. These are the trials and tribulations of a code archaeologist. Don't be concerned too much about this or you'll get stuck in "version 2.0" syndrome where your constant churn of newer and better ideas to solve what you just solved keep you from ever finishing. It's quite likely that it would take more than one refactor to be able to clean up everything anyways. If it was a giant ball of yarn before you started, the first refactor would just be to split it up into a few major areas so you can at least step back and think about it coherently. That's okay.

I feel like I’m stumbling over so much poo poo in the way of doing the work. I spent a year at my last job doing this kinda thing and it is really hard to get right. We spent an entire year and several million dollars before it was decided just to scrap the whole thing and live with the legacy system. In that time we delivered nothing of value.

I feel like I’m stumbling over so much poo poo in the way of doing the work. Did the previous dev/company create and maintain a reasonable level of documentation stored in an accessible place? (They probably did not, and you are fine. Provide feedback to the client to this effect and try to get a buy in on documenting the new poo poo better.)
