My work puts me in a similar position, but when they've gone bankrupt, and I see same thing. It's common to not invest in good enough developers early enough to manage to delete, refactor, upgrade and otherwise clean their software in time to be able to handle growth or stagnation on the business side.
Once I saw a software that was built mostly by one person, in part because he did the groundwork by pushing straight to main with . as the only commit message and didn't document anything. When they ended up in my lap he had failed for six months to adapt their system to changes in the data sources they depended on.
Sometimes the business people fucks up too, like using an excellent software system to do credit intensive trading without hedging for future interest raises.
I'm not so sure machines will solve much on either side even though some celebrities say they're sure they will.
