I have 19 managers, none of them understanding the job at hand and a family I can't see because of 3h/day commutation.

Else the job is fine.

Ho! And I inherited a fork of 500k slocc using 5 languages and so much frameworks I can't count them anymore.

I am the janitor of a huge codebase with a management under acid, but it pays enough for me to not sleep under the bridge, so I guess I am happy.

You're probably on a sinking ship and don't even realize it. If it's really that bad, I suggest quitting in with the smallest amount of notice you can give and hopping on the job market tomorrow.

Remember to thoroughly vhet your future employer. Job interviews are a two-way street. There's nothing wrong with finishing an interview and then telling the employment agency that you don't want to continue the interview. I did that a few times while looking.

That sounds... pretty bad. If you are really in SF there are plenty of jobs around the Bay that offer a good life balance and prevent you from having to sleep under the bridge, just have to look for them.
