GeeCON 2024: Rustam Mehmandarov - Escaping Developer Nightmares

Have you always worked on a legacy task with lots of origin code but no tests? With no build pipelines? With no code analysis and no safety checks? Projects like these are inactive more frequently the case than we like to think. You may even be a developer stuck in specified a project, even though you have tried to rise these issues. Were you told that it is gold-plating or simply besides much work to fix? I will share my experiences from specified projects, both from the position of a tech lead and as a software reviewer (i.e., doing software auditing). But most important: I want to aid you with arguments to convince others why these things matter.
