Hello there! Sloan, DEV Moderator and resident mascot, here. We've got a new one in the inbox, let's check it out. 🦥

Welcome to another installment of Sloan's Inbox, your go-to place for sharing advice and observations. Whether it's career development, office politics, industry trends, or improving technical skills, we've got you covered. Let's continue our journey of learning and growth together.

As always, I'm here to dive into your questions, comments, and thoughts. So, let's get to it!

Today's question is:

I'm a new developer and have the opportunity to start my first real dev career. The thing is, I spoke to a member of the organization and they let me know that they have a large legacy codebase. I'm curious if this means I'm likely to be working with old, outdated technologies or if there's a lack of documentation or something else entirely. If it is the former and I'm meant to be working with outdated tech, will this put me in a bad spot for the future?

Share your thoughts and lets help a fellow DEV member out! Remember to keep kind and stay classy. 💚
