From my own experience I can confirm:
* Everything starts to look like it would be quicker to rewrite
* Everyone on the project has architect on their business card
* Conversations always start with ‘oh that, that is really simple…’ followed by a thirty minute discussion of what is required
* The Project X is a homegrown web framework
* The lines of XML outnumber the lines of Java 10 to 1
* You ask about JUnit tests and you get blank stares from everyone

"The guy that is supposed to train you, throws a file full of notes, and runs away"
What about being brought in to replace the guy who died (actually had that happen)?

I've had the consultant that was hired to replace me have a heart attack a couple of months into the project. Makes me glad I left
