Sounds like the architect was doing some resume driven development cause damn.

In all honesty I'm very angry about it. It was built a while ago, and the dev is no longer here, but I almost want to track him down and make him help fix it. This founder isn't technical, so he's been leaning on developers for guidance, and this guy basically built him a skyscraper when what he really needed was a shed. It hurts to think about all the time and money that he's poured into just maintaining it. Crazy.
Bit late, but is it worth cutting up? Sunk cost I imagine will sting but simplifying might get rid of a lot of the fear.
Heh, that beats the ratio at my current job: 7 pages and ~45 unique services.
