I have a client that writes their own software.
They hired me last year to write a tool for them.
They're not a software company, but their services require these tools.
They've got a couple of websites and a mobile app for Android and iPhone.
It's all mostly updated to the latest versions of .NET with Angular front-ends and all hosted in Azure.
I've seen some docker files too, as well as npm, yarn, Karma, Protractor... All the tools that are, or once were, the popular framework of the day.
One app can have three projects (a back-end service, front-end for customers and front-end for employees), or just the one, kind of depending on when or why it was written.
And it's all written by one guy (who is also the CTO and a real kind of stereotypical programmer, apparently).
Now that one guy got sick, like not coming to work and also not able to do anything for months kind of sick.
And they called me in to take over his work.
It took the guy about two weeks to give me admin rights to everything.
And from that point onward I'll have to figure it out.
string documentation = null;
I'm currently looking for passwords in configs that I now have access to (after I found the configs to begin with).
Just created a whole new database for some multi-tenant application that really needed a new tenant ASAP.
This took me hours as opposed to minutes it would take the original guy.
I also just found out this is one of those three-project applications and I have to add another language to it/them.
Still don't know how to run any of these projects locally 
Taking it one baby step at a time afraid I'll break something at every step...
Cool client though, very nice people, and understanding that at this point I can't make any guarantees.
I'm also kind of impressed this guy wrote all this and judging from a few projects is trying new things.
Still, the whole situation feels kind of weird.
And yes, they knew this was a risk, actually wanted to talk to me about being back-up sooner, but didn't get around to it.

That's what they get for having a truck number of 1. Nice for you, though.

That's...a handful.
Good luck. You'll get there. One careful step at a time.

Sander,
Sounds like you inherited a large amount of code. It's a great chance to learn something. I personally find that refactoring code with minor changes is the best way to quickly get up to speed. Also lots of coffee. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
I don't drink coffee, so that's off the table (or off my desk, actually)
Yeah, refactoring is difficult though, as I'm not even able to run half of the stuff yet
And I guess the original programmer will be back in a few months and he won't be too happy if I "fixed" all of his stuff.
Besides, there's a lot that needs fixing first.
I'll get there, though...

I have been in a situation like this in the past. My approach was to seemingly double the work by keeping the Original Sacred Texts version, and My Own Version with renamed variables and functions and profuse comments about what I understood.
Any logic changes that I made could be added to the Sacred Original after I was sure about them.

Anyone tried or using .Net MAUI yet?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Installed VS2022 on a Win7 VM, and was greeted by a dialog box that stated that I was installing VS2022 onto an unsupported OS. I suspect that VS2025 will not allow you to install onto Win7 at all.
EDIT---------------------------------
ATTENTION!!!
Read my post again. I am not saying MS has to maintain support for Win7 in Visual Studio. I was merely observing that "support" for installing VS on Win7 would eventually disappear, and that process has started with the warning dialog box that I encountered when installing 2022. Don't bother me with bullsh*t arguments regarding an expectation of MS maintain support for Win7, or that Win10+ "ain't that bad". That's not the point I was even remotely trying to make.
