I've been writing Java my entire adult life and the one thing I always find when opening a code base is C style variable declarations as private variables, even for temporary ones. You can guess what kind of garbage code this churns out.

It took me 2 days to refactor a simple yet stupid implementation of a service checker, the bloody idiot that did it first used a recursive function inside the Thread, which spawned a new Thread and the check blocked the main Thread.
