Ah yes, one of the first things I learned when working on my own big code base: I can no longer blame those other idiots for their stupid design decisions. Because suddenly it is all on me.
And that probably made me actually grow as a developer. Because I write good code. I write bad code. Depending on the time of day, my mental condition and external pressures. The same like everyone else.
And I also was once placed in front of a half finished but abandoned PHP project, for me to finish it. That surely was no fun.
That code was not good. And I was stressed and angry with it.
But today I would no longer direct my anger at that actual person. He also just did, what he could with the given ressources.
And venting anger might be therapeutic in some instances, but I am not sure, it helps get stuff done. And it definitely makes for a bad social dynamic.
