Geez, it's like coders are only happy when bashing other people's codes...

What do coders say when they're tasked with continuing some other coder's task? "This is all wrong".

That's also what we say when continuing our own task

I've rewritten much of my code as needs changed, I call myself an idiot a lot since I've worked on this program nearly a decade and was my first professional software so often change old code I wrote. Though it was more additional at first since I used a lot of code the lead programmer did. Though he duplicated everything as needed for a tiny change ugh. Least I know how not to do it.
