And my current project is a bit of a legacy thing. A lot of people worked on it previously and those who did weren&rsquo;t necessarily experts in the technology that they used when they initially developed it. They did a lot of hacky things, to get things going. But such hacks are good for getting a product moving, but not really good for maintaining them.  And now that I&rsquo;m having to implement changes to them, I realized how hard they have made this for me.</p>
