You’re write. I’m a tech lead in an ‘enterprise’ team, and the fight against spaghetti is so real.
I feel a lot of enterprise devs are older, and more set in their ways. It’a not just teaching them new technology any more - I have to fundamentally shift their approach.
All the while being 20 years younger and less ‘experienced’ than them.
It’s slow progress. Every time I relax control within a few hours I have to bring it back. One guy today tried to set up a deployment of a prepackaged service that involved building the service (in debug configuration), then running that. I had to explain that deployments out of /bin/Debug is a bit of a red flag. I’m not sure how you can miss that myself, but here we are.
I have to explain to "senior" developers why a deployment process involving keeping the source code on the prod server and building it with Visual Studio on the prod server is not a great idea.
