  • I am in a similar predicament, and I have been doing what you did, only in situations whereI had to change or improve functionality. I think I will start doing the 1-2 hours per day to restructure the code. I am lucky that there is not much, so I could possibly finish it all in 2 months. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 10:36

    I think there's more people out there going through similar situations that one might think. At any rate, I salute your desire to properly organize the dev environment first, this is always a good thing to do. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 10:42

    Given the state of things here, I don't think I can depend on any management support at all, so the choice I think boils down to standing on the deck and playing on as the ship sinks or making a run for the lifeboats. Whilst I don't want to screw other peoples' lives up I've decided to put number one first and make a run for the boats. Thanks for the advice Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 12:32

  • @WernerCD I'm happy to see that you never had to deal with stuff like the OP's describing. Commented Sep 3, 2012 at 18:43
