I completely feel your pain. I despair quite a lot too. My mentor outright throws a paddy at some PR because of the hacky code.
We've improved PRs with lots of pair programming, a voluntary bookclub that's on company time (we read Working Effectively With Legacy Code last month), and a few presentations teaching code smells and their solutions.
We're now reading the Pragmatic Programmer
I tried to get this trainwreck of a middleware running again. Generations of imbecile devs turned this once ambitious project into a dumpster fire. I had some feeble hopes. Wrote a little framework to get this braindead architecture back on its track. BUT EVERY PULL REQUEST I GET TO REVIEW SHOWS THEY DON'T CARE. FML! Why am I even trying. I should have known these morons just want to pour gasoline onto an already blazingly burning software. GODDAMMIT SHOW SOME ENGINEERING SPIRIT. Why are you even in this industry in the first place?
