I started my career on a 1.5 million LOC project that only had 5 developers working on it. It really influenced my development methodology, and I've always thought working on messy code bases was fun and challenging.
So when I started my consulting company I thought about marketing it as something like "Spaghetti-Wizard". Similar to the "we buy ugly houses" but "we work on ugly code. never surrender. never rewrite.". Couldn't think of proper way to find clients though, so with one exception mostly been working on greenfield projects or as an expert on Oil and Gas IOT systems.
- tabtab 7y agoThere is certainly a need for "spaghetti decoders". Being able to study and figure out messy systems is a fairly rare gift.
