    Ngl that’s like baby levels of nasty code. The real nasty shit is the stuff with pointless abstractions and call chains that make you question your sanity. Stuff that looks like it’s only purpose was to burn the clock and show off a niche language feature. Or worse than that even is when the project you inherit has decade old dependencies that have all been forked and patched by the old team

    If all I had to worry about was organization and naming I’d be over the moon

      Git commits with message saying “pushing changes” and there are over 50 files with unrelated code in it.

          “Fix for critical issue.”

          Followed by an equally large set of files in a commit with just the message:

          “Fixup”

          And then the actual fix turns out to be mixed in with “Start sprint 57 - AutoConfiguration Refactor” which follows “Fixup”

      My favorite was an abstract class that called 3 levels in to other classes that then called another implementation of said abstract class.

      And people wonder why no one on our team ever got shit done.
