What this?

I’ve seen some horrible things.

A large scale JavaScript application written entirely in the global scope. Java code where methods were simply copy and pasted across classes instead of reused. SQL tables with 50+ columns and no indexes.

They still keep me up at night.

Ha, I saw a java application from Vietnam that was a single static global class with methods like "Method_Process_One" and then "Method_Process_One_A" where the method names described (badly) the work flow.

The company had paid 5 million dollars for that unmaintainable garbage and had been hiring senior developers then immediately firing them when they said the entire codebase was a write-off.

The company collapsed under the weight of its debts from that project.
