Can Employee Turnover Reveal Weak Software Architecture?
When an engineer leaves, the initial plan usually feels manageable: someone else will step in, spend a few days getting up to speed, and keep the roadmap moving forward. However, this is often the moment when the questions begin. Suddenly, the team finds themselves wondering why changing a simple field breaks the reporting process, or which service is actually responsible for a specific calculation. They might encounter a dependency that everyone is afraid to touch or find that the application behaves unpredictably in production without any clear explanation.
