right, but the scale was MUCH smaller. And there's usually someone who know someone who has context, so you had someone to call.

I'm working on a repo these days that's larger than _entire companies_ I worked with in the past. A 10-person team maintaining more code than 100s at a previous job. The _scale_ makes this wildly different from what we're used to, no matter how much "legacy code" you had to maintain before.
