Once upon a time there was a technical director. He lived happily ever after. And they invited him to an interesting and promising project. Business owners waved their hands, raising a draft in the room - and drew with markers right on the window panes a happy future, the scale of the task, zeros after the first number in the salary. Sounds like a fairy tale.
But it was not easy for me to note that the techdir lived happily ever after. Because he was an experienced tech deer - and he knew what fairy tales turn into if you go from the bright ivory hall of the stakeholders to the room where keyboards are knocking, the coffee machine overheats from the strain, from time to time you hear untranslatable puns of obscene vocabulary and developers sit.
Tehdir came to them, greeted them and asked: “Guys, tell me honestly, what kind of hellish beast is waiting for me in this project? Because the stakeholders only talked about rainbow-tailed unicorns and pink ponies? Legacy, huh? "
"Legacy, ...", - the developers answered sadly.
The tale is over. Work has begun - and tough decisions.
The situation. The first eternal question of the Russian intelligentsia "Who is to blame?"
