I'm in a surprising situation right now: I've just inherited a huge, well written C# .NET project that's not generating much value to the business. Too much boilerplate, too much unused models and extensions. Things like that. It's weird because every single piece of code seems well written and well documented, but this mammoth solves a very small part of a small business, leaving the internal users to reach out to spreadsheets most of the time.

The best code is the code you dont write. If you have a huge lumbering app that solves a small problem, its not well written.

I'd argue that it's well written, but not well designed.
