Working life

Or is that a tautology.

I find my job ever so tedious and stressful.  This is largely down to other people's code



People keep fucking breaking it!  The memory allocation routines are cyptic and confusing, deletions occur nowher near creation, we have a pile of hard coded values all over the place and an inflexible abstraction layer on top of our reasonably flexible abstraction layer.

We also have a load of singletons, and globals mixed up with no rhyme nor reason, and a pile of  static classes with similar semantics to non-static classes. 

One day, I'll be working on a project with an understandable codebase.

with an understandable codebase."

I've been saying that for fifteen years now...

Only if you wrote it all yourself, less than 3 months ago.
