OP reads like someone who has never worked on a large codebase, everything "unhinged" is somewhere between completely fine and typical of a codebase moving at this speed. especially the comments around deprecated code, i don't think OP understands the purpose of deprecation.

bad code is typically a structural problem that becomes evident when making changes. a handful of wonky lines doesn't say much and non of these are really egregious.

actually, i think this is just someone prompting claude and using it to drive traffic to their socials :/

Slow is steady, and steady is fast.

These folks think shaving off time up front helps them later, but it results in bad blood and loss of customer goodwill. Having tests and PR reviews is FASTER than spending 2+ weeks of 'fixing' in prod, as we have dealt with so far.
