Don't get me started man, currently organizing a 6+ year old spaghetti code Javascript app. It was running a version of node below 1

This app had git versioning and I am seeing shit like "filenameNew" "filenameOld" there's also multiple old versions of the app that were just chilling in nested upon nested folders of themselves.

That's my life. Reading legacy code and refactoring. It's an easy life, living out here, free on the sea. The wind in your sails only the occasional mermaid made of O(n+1) to deal with.
