I'm mainly working on maintaining legacy applications written in various flavors of the Microsoft stack from VB6 to WCF. It was written and patched by 20+ programmers over the past 22 years. It is a mess.

The good thing is that we are moving forward on replacing it with better quality code. It's just going to take a while because the "keep the lights on" maintenance takes up a lot of time.

...that, after 20 years of patching, some other developer will be calling a mess! =)
