How to deal with a broken product I'm responsible to fix as a software engineer.

The design of this product itself seems wrong and the testing of the product is eating away over 80 percent of my time and half the time I'm reproducing the issue since it's so damn complex instead of fixing the issues.

Even if i fix an issue other issues keep popping up and the product seems broken. Can you guys please help me? I've missed deadlines because of this like 3 of them and not getting too much support

Start decoupling

break it down. Prioritise based on impact on the system. Pick one by one. first debug and reproducing steps. Find the solution. Be transparent with your lead and mentioned what you done each day. Its their job to pressure for timeline.

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate. If you’re not at an F50 feel free to ask questions but please refrain from commenting on things you don’t have first hand knowledge of so we can avoid the misinformation issues and make this bowl helpful for all
