   If you are looking forward to work on a major product, you have no options other than inheriting an unmanageable giant mess. If lucky, you can be positioned on big rewrites or slightly more green field new projects, but you are rarely that lucky. On average, whatever you touch has unmanageable debt and unbounded footprint.

     I’ve been thinking lately how overwhelmingly it is to get anything done at any established companies. The early Internet companies were small, had a short cycle of growth and failure, and there was continuous recycling. Since the 2010s, the industry has been overly saturated. New verticals are coming up and niche products come and go, but key corners are in the hands of a few existing systems and their maintainers.
