It's not the 90% maintenance that's the problem, it's this:
"But then I got to hear I wasn't allowed to improve the existing code and to only focus on bug fixes when a bug gets reported."
A product that is not worth improving? This is called a hopeless product, a hopeless company, and a hopeless job prospect.

- wissler 14y agoReally. What about Apple hardware and software?
- gcp 14y agoNobody relies on Apple software or hardware to power their business. (I'm thinking POS applications, machine control etc, see the car electronics example). The closest I can think of is a graphics outfit. You know, the same people that went berserk when Adobe announced the only way to get bugfixes was to upgrade. I wonder why. Outside the reality distortion field people do not rely on Apple.
