Getting to know an established product at BJSS

Specsavers was an interesting first project at BJSS because a familiar name comes with expectations before you open the code. It gets you thinking about the people using the service, rather than just the implementation.

I won't get into project details here. What interests me is the work of understanding an established product: learning its constraints, asking useful questions and figuring out where a change would actually help. That's a different starting point from an empty repository.
