One of the companies I worked for got acquired. The CTO of the bigger company decided to personally lead a large rewrite, including: • replacing our Wordpress blog with something custom written, including building our own database migrator (you could manually data entry our few blog posts by copy and paste) • Replace our Google Sheets based asset tracking with an overengineered backend. The frontend was never built due to a lack of FE and design resources and everyone continued to use Google Sheets. • choose to delete some old sections of our app that still used jQuery, angering vocal customers.
