I like coding in a way that anyonr who comes into my code base can understand whats going on. That way more people can maintain the code base.

However, I HATE having people in my code base. Since they leave shit undocumented, and have 10 variables called "data" "items" "o" "p" and another 20 methods called "processData" "convertItem".

Does the perfect codebase exist? Or is it just a myth?

PS. I'm just a new grad with ~3 years of experience, and in my 4th company now.
