I think you're talking about this blog post: https://web.archive.org/web/20110410011410/https://gojko.net/2011/04/05/how-is-it-even-possible-code-to-be-this-bad/ https://web.archive.org/web/20110410011410/https://gojko.net... I took a peek at the code and it looks like nothing has improved since then. For instance, the Hudson class is now deprecated, and became an empty shell inheriting from Jenkins - which is still a singleton with a public constructor, only now you have to know that the instances of it created must actually be Hudson instances since they're being downcasted to that all over place... Ouch.
