I can appreciate that misfactored code now helps "flatten the curve" and skirt under whatever deadlines you were respecting——even at the cost of a long tail of reactors——but its a shame that junior dev isn't around to learn from their mistakes, and also that they weren't paired with a more senior dev who could've coached them through those reactors at the time, enriching both the codebase and the human capital.
