Any devs ever experience working with haunted code bases? Like you run something and everything works fine, but then you change something like delete an empty line and then you get some horrific error, or vice versa?

This has been my life the past few months building on Jam for Corny Chat which uses typescript, react, tailwind, docker etc and it only takes one of them to randomly decide not to do what you tell it
I've been lucky in my developer career path that I've always wrote my code from scratch.
I have also been unlucky for the same reason because the first big thing I wrote was kind of like what you described. Zero testing, 1000 line long functions, etc.
Nowadays I can barely write any code without writing a test for it beforehand. I can't make myself write a function longer than 20 lines.
