Just a note -- If you feel like the technology is shitty/outdated, update it :)
If you're in a company with good employees, they'll realize the effort you're putting in benefits all of them, and they'll reward you for it (at least socially, if not monetarily). The other devs will thank you, and most likely shower you with praise and love
I am currently in the process of educating my coworkers on newer technologies and methodologies, and it may work in my favor. It is the reason I am not so bothered by the technical debt; my peers are very interested in learning new things and taking this company to the next level. I would not feel the same if they were very close minded and not subject to change at all.
Awesome to hear! I often long to return to some previous jobs I've worked at which had somewhat inferior tech/methodology, since I feel like I could do so much good and really move the organization forward.
Awesome that you're taking time to educate your coworkers on the newer tech and methodologies! Even better that they're receptive and are learning. There's some pretty cool stuff in newer versions of the .NET ecosystem
