Being dumped with a steaming pile left by the last, fired developer that nobody knows anything about, starting at 40-50 project solutions.

Leads, architects, etc. that can't embrace established new tech, i.e. 3 RTM versions behind the current preview editions.

Having to follow questionable coding standards.
Follow my adventures with .NET Core at my new blog, Erisia Information Services.
