    Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes on a code base can reveal some opportunities for big improvements in maintainability 😜

      Ahahhahhahha. Ha…ha. Ahem.

      Sorry. The idea that any of the opportunities for improvement at my last “job A” code base might need “revealed” struck me as really funny.

        Sometimes there’s an opportunity to delete it and start again 😜

      Sometimes it takes a new dev coming in for management to give the greenlight for a major overhaul. It’s shitty, but it’s true.

      Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

      Opportunity is my managers favorite word. I even got him an ink stamp that said “certified opportunity”
