The rest of my career is going to be joining startups a couple years in and gradually refactoring their AI fueled spaghetti, isn’t it?

I used to refactor code from r/programminghorror as an exercise. And I’ve headed 2 divide and conquer initiatives for gradual refactors on a 500k line codebase. I’m decent at it. But getting buy in is hard. We somehow once got management to agree to a 6 month feature freeze so we could pay off tech debt and get the platform to stop shitting itself on the reg.
