Your Code Base as a Crime Scene

Scott Sosna invites you to treat your software like a Cluedo board: hunt down the “murderers” of code quality—lost architecture, dead code, security through obscurity, inconsistent patterns, copy-paste chaos and more. Rather than just pointing fingers at the current mess, he urges you to play detective and trace back to the moment things went sideways.

Was it the sleep-deprived engineer misreading a Stack Overflow answer, the product manager overpromising, or the non-technical leader making ill-informed decisions? Scott unpacks these triggers and shares practical steps you, as an engineer, can take to safeguard your code (and your sanity) moving forward.
