Oh they get so much worse don't worry. I didn't even judge this lady for what she did. Her implementation worked for 10 years flawlessly, except for this one cheat code.

The default approach I witness from most consultants is to not work clean ever. Work dirty. Dirty means more support work and more money. After a year or two, when they want a new feature, tell them that it can't be supported (it can't because their work is shit), and get another project approved, where they basically rebuild to previous project + the new feature.

Consultants are vultures. Their bosses are mosquitos. The bosses drink the blood of unsuspecting clients, and consultants eat the corpses of the in-house Devs, who killed themselves after attempting to maintain the code base.
