This is literally 99% of the job of programming. Making seemingly small mistakes that turn a working product into a complex mess of dysfunction. I kinda wish I could just program for fun now and no other reason. Maintaining software that is years old and worked on by very junior devs is…rough
Rest assured it could be worse, I have been unemployed for almost 2 years.
Hey, that’s me! I’ve been working on the code base for so long that I’M the very junior dev whose code needs to be refactored! Very fun!
