Most of us aren't technical experts in Muse, and we shouldn't try to be. The question is asking how to approach his boss, not how to fix his website. It's okay to challenge the premise of the question (that the task is extremely difficult), but you should still answer in a workplace, not technical, context (eg. "Maybe your boss knows more than you. Tell him you're concerned about XYZ and ask if he has a better approach.") | |

My answer is meant to be general enough to cover all those scenarios where an "expert" comes across (what he considers) poorly written legacy code. Whether the existing code is "nightmare" or not would be clear when the OP tries to justify the refactoring effort to his manager. I just picked the word "nightmare" from OP's question as a shorthand for "legacy code which I could have written better". | |
