What is the point of reading books about architecture when all I get are some shitty apps written 5-10 years ago where I just have to make them operational... :(

You're supposed to refactor those apps using the architecture you're learning.

@vomitmachine Duuh, what what time?

Sounds like the Google docs for their apis I have to throttle requests to to avoid an hour temp ban

@PurgeXenos any time, don't ask for permission. If your bosses get mad, ask for forgiveness. That being said, I've only worked at small and medium sized companies where I'm usually autonomous, so I don't know how that would work in a large setting. On the plus, if you make the code base better, who's going to get mad...
