A newly faced project (telecom area) is really wide bunch of different fat components, interacting in a complex way. Previous commands haven't considered even a tiny bit of proper maintenance, having tested only new features in final installation. Code shows nearly all kinds of smells one can imagine.
I have to develop something new under a threat to break things I've never been aware of. The entire command tries to push understanding of needing to spend some time bandwidth to normalize this heap of crap...
Personally it affects into deep level of procrastination over tasks to develop new features - of the degree that I'm unsure my productivity is satisfiable.
