What’s the problem?

[Chumi] is an attendees-focused event hosting platform, it has payment, instant messaging, and circles feed features. Due to the product is pivoting a lot of times, it leaves unneccesary code and structures. Every time when developers need to fix bugs or add new features, it takes a lot of time to check the code and easily causes more issues.

What causes those issues?

TDD is not excueted. No code review. Tight schedule. Too many part-time developers. Lack of coding style guide.

What would I do?

1. Draw a diagram and write a doc for all kinds of files.
2. follow mvvm, work on model by model.
3. Work on view-model.
4. Work on view controllers.
5. Write a coding style guide.
