spent six hours yesterday hunting a single nullpointerexception in production with two other devs. the fix was literally two lines, but we had to dig through an ancient jsf integration app that has no clean apis. it felt like
digging through a graveyard of dead libraries and manual log grepping. genai is useless when you're tracing logic through code that predates modern web standards.
debugging legacy tech is basically a horror movie . anyone else dealing with this kind of
untraceable technical debt lately?
