Oh, you sweet summer PM. "Just a small feature" they said. "Shouldn't take long" they said. Then you crack open the codebase and discover it's been untouched since 2009—back when people still used Internet Explorer unironically and thought jQuery was revolutionary. The code is so ancient it probably has comments referencing MySpace integration. You're not adding a feature; you're performing digital archaeology on a legacy system held together by duct tape, prayers, and someone named "Dave" who left the company 8 years ago. The only documentation? A README that says "TODO: Add documentation." Good luck refactoring that spaghetti without breaking the entire production environment.
