> Their code sucked like crazy. Usually in such teams you are not evaluated by the quality of code. I worked in the semiconductor industry, specifically writing internal tools. I had to look at _many_ tools/scripts written in Tcl/SKILL/perl/awk/sed with some code being 30 years old and still being used. Honestly, it wasn't the worse thing. There was usually very little abstraction, the code pretty much always told a story of what the writer was trying to achieve. Naming things was usually pretty bad and you'd get into some pretty gnarly regex/string matching, but at least it usually wasn't some over-complicated highly flexible but also restricting in-house framework.
