The feeling when you realize some people on the project are writing legacy code from scratch. Apparently it seems they've never heard of any coding standards, they think clean code and style guidelines are for the weak and single responsibility means one single method is responsible for a bunch of unbelievably diverse things. They are like the Gumbys of the dev realm but it's my brain that hurts every time I have to deal with their code.

    "clean code and style guidelines are for the weak"
    I'm happy to be weak if this is the case

    Your concept of legacy code is wrong. ALL code is legacy code the moment it hits production, regardless of it's quality.

    Furthermore poor code is hardly the worst thing you can face: build unit tests and start refactoring. Poor design decisions on the other hand typically require rewrites.

    When i started my code was worse. Nowdays it just sucks, but eventually will get better. Being a junior I would have liked people to actually tell me what's wrong with my code/be more specific, rather than complaining about it in a impolite way. You all were the juniors weren't you?!
