I tracked the previous programmer and it looks like he is doing great with a role as responsible in a bigger company…
I wonder what that manager might say about me now that I left the company too.
I am grateful to him only because I was so upset about him that I stumbled in devRant -

How exactly did you inherit the codebase? Wasn't it versioned? If it was, it should be trivial to see who wrote it, even line by line. -
@kamen zip archive!
Real men don’t need versioning 🤣
I am joking but it actually still hurts thinking about it😢 -
That’s hilarious. Don’t worry about what he might be saying about you. He should be worried about his own reputation at this point

My previous manager always complained about the programmer that used to be there before me was utterly incompetent and unable to work.
One day checking a legacy app that needed a minor update I was looking at the code and said: “It is true the previous programmer didn’t even know how to put together 2 lines of code, this is literally the shittiest thing I have ever seen, thank God he is not around anymore!”

Manager: “Actually I wrote this myself”
