Generations of code inheritance, expanding and changing over time + an unwillingness for companies to allow complete rewrites at periodic intervals.

@ojt-rant I wish! This … smart person… wrote the code on its own a couple of months ago while I was on vacation and it was accepted by a manager (…), so it’s all on this person

@Hazarth I wish it was so simple! I don’t think there’s really “it”, I think as mentioned in other (not mine) posts people just do the bare minimum… if you don’t know shit and managers don’t complain, why learn stuff?

@piratefox ah...let's hope they were atleast an intern who didn't know any better, and not a veteran "progammer"

@piratefox something dirty and fast because you needed it yesterday (and you have 15 million other things to do) is sometimes the best for GTM.

How hard can it be to refactor this 170 lines file?
- a single “data” variable used to store everything
- arrays inside arrays inside arrays (see prev point)
- operations with a lot of obscure sideEffects
- $data[] = something (which in magic php land means $data.enqueue()
Why is such… biological matter… even allowed to code? Fucker’s pretending they are a senior for four years: how in hell didn’t they learn to code in this timeframe?
