It takes three months to add one checkbox to a web UI
-
Everything starts to look like it would be quicker to rewrite
-
Everyone on the project has "Architect" on their business card, and yet they never agree on anything!

Conversations start with "Oh, that, that's really simple, you just...." followed by a 30 minute description on what to do
-
You time your life around "the build"
-
The GUI is written in AWT... or HTML 3.2
-
Or! The GUI is written in something you wrote yourself
-
The project .... is a home grown web framework

Someone just added 5 more hours of meetings to your work week because "it's late"
-
The guy who is supposed to train you, throws a folder of notes at you and runs away cackling gleefully
-
The lines of XML outnumber the lines of Java 10:1
-
You ask about unit tests and get blank stares from everyone, or a "yeah, we should do that really"
