      Bruh. I fixed software from the 90’s.

      Scientific software too. Which is way weirder.

        Why is that weirder? The people writing scientific software are, by and large, less good at writing software than people who only specialize in software development. I’d expect there to tons of terrible engineering practices in an old code base like that

    I wish I was so lucky to have comments.

    in real life, I’m fighting with - I’m not joking - a few dozen “quick patches”. code does not reflect in any point functional requirements, and dude is adamant he’s in the right and supersarcastic in any occasion.

      I’ve been working at my current company for almost a year.

      I had no idea it could be this bad.

      I actually had to fight/plead with someone to “please read the code”. Guy did get fired though.
