I’ve written those same comments so many times over the years.

We all pretend our code doesn’t stink, but show me a developer who’s never left a a turd in a codebase, and I’ll show you someone who’s never been under a deadline.

Oh god this turned into a vent session

I think back of what I left behind. And I feel bad.

But then I feel better because I remember the reason I left was that we outgrew our processes and codebase and we desperately needed a restructure but i got no support in doing so.

I bitched for years that it was a continuity risk and a performance nightmare. But no. "Deliver more features. Add more junk for use cases that brought us no business value." Never consider governance or security. Never consider best practices. Just more.

I knew eventually something bad would happen and I would be thrown under the bus. So I split. It was a good decision.

But yeah. Seone inherited a lot turd code
