Funny and painful real-world stories from Magento enterprise projects, and show practical strategies for keeping knowledge alive.
In enterprise e-commerce projects, nothing is scarier than missing knowledge. Every reported bug might turn out to be a “feature” built years ago by an agency that no longer exists, and every system call feels like group therapy for engineers. Together we reverse-engineer pricing issues, data mismatches, and middleware mysteries — trying to prove or disprove theories like detectives on a case.
In this talk, I’ll share funny and painful real-world stories from Magento enterprise projects, and show practical strategies for keeping knowledge alive — through clear code, lightweight documentation, and shared practices — so teams can survive the chaos, keep their sanity, and reduce the chances of these mysteries repeating in the future.
