And also starting by fixing the js/css/html front end is likely the safest, as it wont corrupt any customer data & it will be visible when something breaks. That can probably be the next best candidate to do a major overhaul. I'd also hope that a $20M/year project can afford to hire someone senior in addition to these 3 juniors?

- denimnerd42 4y agowhy would someone senior even want to join this team? Especially someone senior enough to fix this. The productivity is horrible and there's no kudos for fixing something that's lived for 12 years like this.

- lolinder 4y agoTheoretically a company that's making $20m/year on this can afford to make it worth someone's while to come in and fix it. The problem isn't finding someone who will do it, it's that the company assumes they can continue to get by indefinitely on paying too little.
- marcosdumay 4y ago> why would someone senior even want to join this team? Well, money. Why would someone even want to join any team?
