Wow, an actual rant from dfox as opposed to an announcement :O
That's good progress there @dfox, but next time with more feeling. Maybe sprinkle in some cuss words, that ought to get them emotions out :D -
@Bikonja I'm not really mad about this, more just glad it's almost over :) I think my closest thing to what you're looking for is my wk44 rant about one professor I had in college - that guy really pissed me off.
@CozyPlanes haha, not from devRant. It was one of the projects at my day job. -
@dfox "almost" is very subjective in the IT world... Been 10+ yrs since an web server, I worked in my last role, was considered legacy... Still supported and and widely used in production...

Scared about @letmecode getting closer? :D

finally saw a rant by @dfox
Everyone always says the previous developer was crap, sometimes you're right
Software requirements
I've learned that trying to jump into a project without properly understanding everything it will entail is bad.
I recently worked on a project that involved modernizing a legacy system and no one on the team (including me) fully understood how the legacy system worked. This led to us missing a lot of edge cases and attacking the project in a way that really wasn't beneficial overall.
If we had thought about the entire system beforehand and mapped out the legacy system, the project would've turned out much better.
