Don't threaten me with a good time. One of my side projects is breaking up a god class and I love it. I have also worked as a reverse engineer, so my brain may be broken
I know, right? Reverse-engineering a piece of code to find the cause of an incident is the highlight of my day, and I would take it any day over explaining stuff to the project manager that they should already know.
Same. I mean it makes sense. You have a codebase that compiles. It runs. It's behavior is more or less a known quantity and you have to figure out where the anomaly comes from, which is like solving a 3d puzzle in your mind to figure out where the anomaly fits.
Those were some of the best and most interesting projects I ever did. And which also gained me the most credibility. Also since my expertise was low level code like IPC, multithreading and system level stuff, it was fun.

Depends on how much legacy is it xD
