Inheriting the updates/maintenance role on a Wordpress site that has been through the hands of two previous agencies and at least one person on the client side who has a penchant for installing dozens of plugins. When I wanted to do a code audit/clean-up, I was told to work around what was already there. Everything took twice as long to code and QA because the codebase had already transitioned from spaghetti to pure shit before I even got ahold of the instance.
I was so curious about what it would take to unfuck it that I took home a copy of the code and putzed around with it on my own time. At about the 90-hour mark, I decided I had better things to be doing with my time.
