Currently working at a small manufacturing business that is drowning in the "we've always done it this way..." mentality and I just hope I can get out of here before it bites them in the ass.

Anyone got experiences with technical debt or outdated IT practices snowballing into a complete disaster? Surely companies can't limp along indefinitely... right?

They finally added the last bit of data to this Session store that broke the whole application. 16MB of data being read/written from store on every http request. 50% of all http request processing was handling the Session middleware.

I hate developers who don't spend the very minimum to understand the environment they work in.
