MattIt's fun talking to clients that have proprietary code interfacing with our open source software. You get some insight into corporate software development and sometimes they tell you how the sausage is made. Based on those interactions, it turns out I overthink everything and closed source stuff worked on by full-time devs can be chock full of obscene hacks and workarounds
fundamental@mdc Absolutely. I've even seen codebases so bad, but also so critical that they've calcified into a format where it's the backbone of a product, but no one is able to modify it anymore.
