This is so accurate it hurts. No interviewer is ever going to say "dude, our codebase is terrible. The CTO wrote most of the core logic 9 years ago and everybody is afraid to touch it, so we just paper over it with increasingly complex interfaces and abstractions. There are like 25 different ways of doing everything, because every 6 months a dev comes in and thinks we should use their favorite new design pattern everywhere, but then gives up halfway through implementing it. Everything is either massively over engineered or complete spaghetti."
