The Xbox codebase was pretty good. We were doing enforced code reviews back in 2011-ish, which was a big thing at the time. There was also a good layer cake going on and a few good architects.
The worst codebase by far was Outlook for Mac. It had code going back to Entourage, and was never properly cleaned up.

- christophilus 2y agoOffice in general is a mess. I think it’s a good example of the fact that the sales team / marketing power of a business is the real driver of success, much as that pains me as a developer.
- cbanek 2y agoI feel that Office's trouble is always backward compatibility. Which makes sense.
