Types of codebases my customers send me:
- Enterprise javabean factory factory... on a SIM card
- C# programmer retasked to write an authenticated bootloader in C for an arm platform with no training
- Beautiful well-written, easy-to-read C by an experienced systems programmer, with one mind-blowing 100-out-of-100-risk-severity bug buried in miscutils.c
- There is a hermit monk in a cave in Czechia. Once every three years, he emerges with a new revision of the codebase. It is horrifying spaghetti logic that repulses the human soul, but no matter how long and how hard you look, you can't actually find anything wrong with it
