I'm not experienced in VB Forms. So can someone who is, tell me if I'm just too inexperienced or if Im right about this?
Im tasked with fixing some bugs in a VB Forms project that a privious employee wrote some years ago. When I opened the project and checked it out, there was over 5600 lines of code in the codebehind for the form.
I feel like this is somewhat bad practice, no comments, no documentation... Nothing. And to top it off, among the worst naming of Subs and variables ever. Stuff like: "Run", "Stop", "Feeder", "When Load".
Oh, and the best part? The guy forgot some test code in the software, so when he left, the software stoped functioning. For real, he coded in a dependency to his own account in The AD.

    I need to add this, another guy tried to fix it like 2 years ago but he gave up. Then there's this old dude at the place who is like the "you need to consult him on everything regarding old project, cause he's the gatekeeper" type who has been meening to fix it for years. But he never does. And a collegue straight up told me: "try to keep it on the down low from (zenmaster guru) that your gonna fix the software, he gets really defensive about it". Like... What?
