Bad Code is Killing Me
At least once a week I am approached with a rewrite or modification to someone else’s code. I decided to take on the most recent mod for a friend and am not enjoying it one bit. It is getting harder and harder for me to take on new projects because of garbage like this :
What the hell kind of form validation is that?!
My question is how does this pass company standards? How are people getting away writing this rubbish and being paid top dollar over someone who codes to standards and follows MVC.
I am definitely no PHP guru – but for god sakes start writing maintainable code people!
If you are wondering what inspired this rant – take a gander at this gimmicky product… I need a drink.
That’s just… wow… the best two words I can say is ‘shit code’ and pure garbage. It’s bad enough that I laughed at first glance before even bothering to read what the code is for(validation).
Wow amazing, this programmer must’ve been part-bird because they really love nesting! .
Wow, that is worryingly bad. I feel for you having to maintain code like that :S
I’ve been around long enough to know the benefits of design patterns, but believe it or not when I was in college a few years ago, they actually taught us to write nested code like that example. It’s absolutely awful.
Maybe the saying is true: “Those who can’t do, teach!”
“this programmer must’ve been part-bird because they really love nesting! ” lol thats funny shit.
yes, I think I’ll go with ‘shit code’
