Software engineers often complain about bad code and architectures. But are there any real-world examples of products that started out successful but eventually crumbled due to technical debt?
I'm working on a 15-year-old SaaS service that has tons of poor code. We're making millions in profits, but we face scaling issues every day. We're able to keep things running by duct taping here and there but I'm wondering how long this can go on.
