Try to find a way so that you don't have to communicate the gravity of it. For example start fixing it slowly and quietly.

Be careful to not fall into the trap. The signal to noise ratio and the nature of the work is such that your brilliance/minimalism and so on will be neither recognised nor appreciated. This is the problem of a proud craftsman trying to

It also depends on the nature of the app. The SPA arguments often have two groups on each side. On one hand there are people building content-heavy sites claiming traditional Django/Rails stuff is perfect. On the other hand you have pe

Been there done that. Tips (apply common sense based on your specific company): 1. As an engineer, learn to say no. Want to import some random excel sheet into our system? Sorry no you can not. 2. Try to provide an API instead and push the
