Hitman6638y@orijin Never quit developing man! Try to make people aware of the problem, and start documenting your own code! It activates others to do so too

JS96185348yI know that feeling, I worked at a software which first version was released in 90s, and the latest version, released in 2016, still uses a lot of undocumented classes that no one dares to touch.

orijin20218y@Michel Just returned from vacation. The project had opened isn't finished. Those little changes that were made are on a dev server, nothing commited to git. The css and javascript added to the views, even when there's a perfect builder setup that compiles, minifies and optimizes LESS and JS code into one file. jQuery included in views several times, because the main one is available in the footer, ..etc.
How do you move a mindset of a whole company that this isn't a good practice when 90% of them have less than 3 years of work experience and that of bad practice and unwilling to learn?
Plus my position isn't the one that can push decisions.
I'm tired af after 10+ years of this. There's not much to choose from where I am, I rather switch professions than deal with it any longer.
Might get enough free time to work on opensource projects to feed the coding soul than to stain it with bad karma :-)

At my job there is little to none documentation of the software. Software is from 2000 and updated since...
Imagine the features no one knows about.
