Having pets is a good way to prepare yourself for working in a brown-field environment.

When your cat or dog shits on the floor, you get the same feeling as when you need to dive into a legacy code base.

You know you can't just leave it there, and yet you still want to find anything else to do except for touch the pile of shit in the middle of the room.

Meanwhile you know your users are going to end up trampling over it and mashing it into your carpet.

What do you get when you combine a greenfield project with a brownfield project?

A stinking pile of compost.

Dev horror movie idea. "Brownfield Code Project". 'There's something evil in the version control.'

Fuck this fucking brownfield code
