These are ecommerce systems. It's astonishing because no-one in the company truly has a complete understanding of the business, as far as I can tell. The code is running in production and serving customers.

Rewrite is being pushed by certain parties because we're unable to meet feature requests quickly with the existing system, and it's being assumed that a rewrite will fix that problem. The team is barely functional though (from the top down). I've seen a few failed projects now and I don't think the rewrite will ever be accomplished. If we manage to rewrite, it's far from certain that we'll do a better job than the last guys did.

Late reply, and I'm sure you're smart enough to know this already, and are hopefully already planning it - but get the hell out of there, fast.

I...yeah. The picture wasn't completely clear until very recently and now the anxiety has kicked in. I'm trying to stick around a little because I've been through too many jobs in too short a time and I think I need to show some "commitment" on my resume.
