"Thrown into the Deep End: Inheriting Legacy Code" with David Garrison of QuoteWizard

​On three separate occasions, David Garrison has joined a team and, within a few months, has ended up as the most senior person on that team. For better or worse, David has had to learn how to dig into old projects with minimal documentation and no one to ask what this weird piece of logic does and why everything breaks when it's changed.
