Read this as a Piece of sh... company. Then I saw response of someone saying they're a POS developer and was like oh I think he means point of sale.

Or that guy is just a really bad programmer.

I worked at a company that developed a niche POS as part of a larger system. It was, by far, the worst part of the code base. Just imagine a bunch of late 90's era Java 1.2 code, complete with a Swing UI, tons of concurrency issues, singleton objects and synchronized blocks all over the place, custom binary protocols...
Both work (:

But the point was it was in a comparble situations without the microservices / k8s / whatever pet tech you want to hate on.
