Either you mostly worked by yourself or on a small team or you don't realize how much your coworkers hate you.

In my experience, code quality isn't usually about some purity complex. It's a recognition of the fact this code may have been written once but will have to be read many more times



Actually the most common reason I get a job is referrals from ex-coworkers.

ed: Also probably worth noting the reason for this may partially be because I don't say their code "sucks".


I work with someone like this. And yes, we hate him.

Unfortunately he’s the CTO. Of a YC-backed company, even!
