I found a function yesterday that was 15 lines and reduced it to one, it was a Boolean check but they hadn't just returned that.
Its mostly php and they declare all variables and then immediately overwrite them, I'm not convinced the main programmer had a good grasp of PHP tbh.
In any case its mine now. :)

Hell, I've probably written 'em. Anyway, good luck. I've been in similar situations. It can be overwhelming, but if you have executive buy-in, you have a big opportunity to establish a new direction and effect significant change.
