I was hired once to be the Rails guy on a team of competent web developers, that didn't know Rails. I spent two years slowly ironing out issues with the codebase. By the time I was done our velocity had increased to the point to where a two week sprint took three days to complete. They couldn't feed us enough work. We all got pretty good at ping pong.

Until one day our dear team lead rammed a full NodeJS rewrite down our throats.
