But like @thephd alludes to: when you lay off your devs you loose organizational knowledge. It basically starts a clock in my experience, two years down the line most no longer have the knowledge inside the company to maintain the product anymore. The first period runs on inertia and just needing to make small changes, two years out there are always architectural changes needed. Unfortunately the distance in time from layoff to “legacy system” means management never sees them in context.
