Dropped onto a project this year that was put together by 15 or so juniors over 18 months. They're all gone, and there's now just 3 seniors (new team) trying to make sense of things and save it.

If the project had been tempered with some seniors, it could have been done in 6-9 months with 3 - 5 people. It's pretty straight forward work.

Having to excavate and rehabilitate all of the poor decisions and practices due to inexperience has taken time. It's nothing I haven't seen before, though.



How can 15 people be gone? Contractors?
