Except for when it really does suck.
I was dealing with some CSS recently that was just odd. Everything (yes, every single block element) was a float resulting in a soup of fixes and workarounds because of the oddities they introduced earlier. In rewriting it, I managed to lose more than half of the CSS statements and make it be an almost pixel perfect match and be more browser compatible.
It was written by another contractor and I was contracting. Handling the politics delicately was the real problem.
- yason 16y agoThis sounds like a trivial case. But I've seen code that really does suck, too, and I still had to understand all of it to really know the code is solving the wrong problem or alternatively not solving any problem at all.
- pierrefar 16y agoYes it was trivial. As I said, it's delicacy of handling the situation was the hard part.
