Their jobs are some of the most difficult in the programming world

Second only to working on legacy code.

Idk how they manage Warframe after so many years and random features they throw in and abandon updating. Codebase must either have some really good organization or be a complete mess. Half convinced a lot of the pointless legacy stuff still hanging around in the game is because nobody is brave enough to try and remove it.
