The only time I’ve gotten to improve things already written is when we had a specific contract to do so once. Other than that, yeah, small bug fixes but otherwise new development only.
Sorry if I made myself misunderstood. I meant that it should definitely be the most common that you don’t get to refractor and do cleanup and maintenance and stuff. I’m definitely lucky in this regard. 😅
Ok, c’mon now, be honest. Does it really make the code easier to understand/ manage though?
You get to manage code? Once it’s shipped it’s gone. There’s no time for refactor and only tackle major bugs. That’s the corporate way
