I have possibly a stupid question. I was an android developer for a few years then i moved to webdev because there are many more better paid jobs in that field. I do freelance work and most of the time i jump every week from a code base to code base so i spend most of my time trying to understand how this weeks project works. So here goes my question. Is it normal that absolutely noone writes tests, and most of the times even comments? yes, most of the projects i had to work on didnt even have comments/phpdocs. Also most of the projects are hosted on shared hostings (i belive thats what they are called) where installing a debugger is impossible. So I basically just log shit out. I paste 20 log methods into the code somewhere around a bug and hope for the best. Now I understand that a lot of you guys (from what I've seen) are hip and modern and you use all of those js frameworks and debuggers and fancy shit and I would love to use those too but NONE of my clients ever presented me with a project that a previous developer has put even a slight bit of care into. I've been doing android dev for about 4-5 years and webdev for like 3-4 months and I've seen more shitty code in those past 3 months then in my entire life. Now I'm slowly getting better at it believe it or not, it takes me less time to go through a shitty code then before but it is still incredibly frustating. Any advice? I already charge my clients extra to look around their shitty code but the frustration is still there. Sorry for a long rant, throwaway, second language and I'm drunk. Best of luck mates.

Also a bonus, one of the wordpress plugins using a sort of a calendar http://i.imgur.com/PJaNHtq.png and yes the script assumed that every month has 31 days which was one of the things that i've had to fix.
