^ this. "find a friend to be your senses" is my wording of it (from long ago).. And do this in all possible aspects (of culture or else) - common-people, company/companies, devs, management.. and once and again. Technical stuff might be in dire state but is usualy fixable... unless people/culture simply prevents it. So beware.. esp. of things you are not told, like why these devs, why this project, why finish it, why now, .. why you? Fish starts smelling from the head first. and... Westerners might not be too welcome everywhere. Watch and Listen.. before doing anything. YMMV
