I can't say too much, to protect the guilty and all that. It's not a new
design. It's a ~10 year old project and the original developer had some
employee turnover, now they only seem to have some green as a stick kid
working on it. They can't seem to add a new feature without breaking two
other ones. But the worst part, the part they should be killed for, they
were running out of code space - so they DELETED THE COMMENTS!!!

Long story short, it looks like I could be in a position to pick up the
project once management gets off their collective arses and terminates the
contract.

Thanks,
