A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

NOT true, as in the "every" part.

Just yesterday I "saw" a codebase where the other clock was screwed and hammered on to the extend that both clocks were so obviously broken...

Had no smart ass come along to draw some numbers around it, it wouldn't even be useful. But now, when sun is shining, time is right (ish) 🤡
