Edit - The Workplace Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

As noted in my other comment, I agree: either focus on fixing individual, well understood, pieces within the existing framework, or start building a new framework that reuses existing pieces when appropriate. Trying to do anything between these is a recipe for disaster. Also, remember that infinite improvement of code that is used 1% of the time is still only a 1% practical improvement; use measurement tools where possible rather than trusting your own guess about where to invest your effort, and remember the 90/10 rule; good enough really is good enough. Also, COMMENT any code you touch.

Regarding the workplace problem: Make 100% sure management is fully aware of the implications of the situation. Supporting, maintaining, and eventually extending the product is going to be difficult and expensive and management needs to calibrate their expectations accordingly.
