How do you know a codebase is good before you invest time digging into it?
- W0lf 9y agoI don't. There are a few indicators though like the overall structure of the source files, how they are laid out on the file system. Minor details like inconsistent formatting. Typically if one or more of those indications is messed up, I'm pretty sure the rest of the codebase is also not in a good state. I still do skim through some files to confirm my expectation though.
