Every company I worked for is like this. I sneak small improvements into daily work. If I call an old function, I’ll often fix it while I’m there. Don’t raise tickets. Don’t ask. Just fix it.
I also have a shelf of a hundred fixes that I never merged. I’ve done the work, but the real hurdle is PR and and testing. It takes days of effort to push code that took an hour to write.

Literally unplayable.
