    not if you have invested in making it scaleable. but if you’ve inherited already one from another dev then you’re probably fucked. we barely cared back then about scaleability.

      It’s usually the domain knowledge that gets lost over the years that causes maintenance problems not the code or tech.

      Why things are done this way gets lost. The decisions that led to it. The hard earned knowledge by the original dev team.

      New team comes in and everything they do breaks something else because they don’t understand the up and downstream of their project.
