The 30-Day Rescue Plan for a Codebase Nobody Can Explain

You just got the job. The system is a mess. The person who built it is gone. Everyone is afraid to change it — including your boss.



This is the plan. What to touch first. What to leave alone. How to find the dangerous parts before they find you. And how to tell your manager the truth without becoming the problem.

Written in plain English. No jargon. No tutorials. No code you have to read.

Read it in 90 minutes. Use it for 30 days.
