> Don't worry about it being shitty legacy stuff. This. One of my specialities is unpicking and debugging legacy code bases, often 20+ year old mud balls. It isn't glamorous work, but you do get a few decent war stories out of it to recall in the pub. My preference is to hire devs who've put in the hours in these environments. I see it as something of a right of passage and indicates to me you've got the experience and self-assurance to work with these gnarly and often fragile code bases (hopefully) without breaking it, fixing bugs and generally trying to make it better. I'm not suggesting you make a career out of this, though it can be lucrative, but a year or so doing this kind of work does no harm to your CV/resume in my eyes. |
