We've got 10 APIs, with a fraction of a percent of code coverage. None of the responses/requests/error messages/fetch services are standardized.

So unsurprisingly this project has been going on for 6 years.

It gets worse. Half the site is MVC, half is blazor. We depend on mainframe connections and external vendors, who in turn have their own API, which we have a wrapper API for.

The entire grahql fusion schema got nuked about two months ago, and we're still panicking to fix it.

And each of our environments are half environments, that mesh with one another to create a data integrity hellscape.

It's ~~turtles~~ rot all the way down.

That one is by far the worst to work with.
