No that's fine. From the above it does sound like it. Normally I would agree, but I really couldn't fix bugs in this code without re-factoring majorly. It really was that bad. I wouldn't have minded so much if we hadn't supplied the guy with a sample which showed how he should lay it out as well. I may have gained a boost from his code (I did literally just scrub the codebase and reused a lot of had a change a heck of a lot too) but im certain I didn't gain 3 months from using what was delivered. For the SQL portion we explicitly told him to use repository pattern using Entity Framework which he totally ignored this requirement. The moment I saw raw SQL in our models I really cracked it. Of course the above could have been fixed with a decent peer review process but I could write chapters over what happened there. Suffice to say I saw the code once, made many requests of things to fix and was never invited to review it again.
