      Ahahhahhahha. Ha…ha. Ahem.

      Sorry. The idea that any of the opportunities for improvement at my last “job A” code base might need “revealed” struck me as really funny.

      Sometimes it takes a new dev coming in for management to give the greenlight for a major overhaul. It’s shitty, but it’s true.

      Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

      Opportunity is my managers favorite word. I even got him an ink stamp that said “certified opportunity”
