At the company I'm with, there is a 6 person team developing a nodejs app that started out as somebody's learning project / MVP through innumerable pivots (the original developers are gone). The codebase has had no significant deletioms over its five year history, only additions in the "3d chess" sense. It is a generic API server and dropbox-clone file uploader client. It requires on call attention because it blows up every time so etching unexpected happens. Meanwhile, the code that does things the business actually sells is written and maintained by one person, and it works pretty well. There have been several significant rewrites / refactors and little process beyond "the campsite rule" and "get stuff (not shit) done"
