Who said that I only had one example? I just listed one so you'd have an idea of what I was talking about. I could give you like a hundred. This is a heuristic

Who said that I only had one example? I just listed one so you'd have an idea of what I was talking about. I could give you like a hundred. This is a heuristic I've developed over a lot of time working in codebases with inconsistencies and repeatedly getting burned.
- whstl 10mo agoI'm not disagreeing with your example and conclusion, and I've seen many of those. I actually agree that half-assing a problem is not the best solution. It's just that they are not examples of "inconsistent but good". They are not even "good", just "inconsistent". You said yourself that they're worse overall.
