Yep, that is one of the reasons PHP and ASP got such a bad name. Projects like those take a few greps and minutes to get into and get you to productively make changes without much risk. And, outside HN, it is still quite common because of it.

I've seen codebases become unmaintainable piles of almost repeating code that was never tested beyond a developer opening the page and checking the behavior manually. To prevent such messes is one key responsibility of a developer.
