I think sometime poor design or horrible code is quite subjective. For example, when I write complex query for performance critical system, and no other colleagues understand, is that my fault?
- strait 16y agoNot if you wrote clear supporting documentation appropriate for an audience that will not be familiar with your particular conceptualization. This in itself is a real art.
- gmjosack 16y agoI'm talking about metaclasses in Python for the hell of it. I'm talking one-liners that consist of map, lambda, map, lambda, filter, map, map, map, join. I'm talking about inconsistent indenting and one letter variable names everywhere. I'm talking about huge monolithic code bases, all of which he wrote, containing code copy and pasted from each other instead of making a library. I could go on but I'll spare you. I agree that "poor design" and "horrible code" is quite subjective but sometimes it's an easier call than others.
