The fact that I'm not willing to speak about the quality of code where I work should speak for itself.

You mentioned in your post:
The only consolation that I have is that these are a bunch of really nice people that I enjoy being around.

In my 22 years of work expirience this is an asset that carries far more weight than ones job description. The ability to enjoy working witht the people you work with is an unusual priviledge that should not be taken lightly. It is so hard to find groups of people that aren't just a pain to be with everyday, and that added stress diminishes the quality of life to the point that what a person is working on almost becomes irrelevant.

It's hard to soar with turkeys, and birds of a feather can be hard to find - except on perlmonks of course!
