> Have you jumped into a large old codebase with no access to its previous authors or maintainers?

Written by juniors, who doesn't really understand their codebase and writing ugly hacks all over the code? With code regularly failing at critical moments?

And you are suggesting to hire a bunch of new juniors who would finally fix this mess? I would rather fire half of the developers and hire new seniors instead who will refactor the codebase.
