This is killing me about my current job. I want to fix so many things, but the culture here is don't rock the boat (nationwide, not just this company).
Just today a colleague was reviewing a PR. I left a comment saying that I deleted a few template files that were no longer in use but I noticed them while working through the ticket. The PR had 6 different comments on it asking "Why was this deleted" for every single file that I deleted. I hope it's a language barrier thing with this one particular person, but I don't know.
We have retrospectives and talk a lot about making time to refactor as a part of sprint tickets and doing better within the system we have and then this crap comes up. So now I need to go write another ticket, bypass all of the refinement rituals (which nobody likes when I do that) and add the ticket to the sprint, just to delete these few unused files that git says haven't been touched in 7 years? Wtf guys.
The hard part of software is, always has been, and always will be, people, not code.
