I had a coworker, whose code is disgusting. They have been working for 15+ years, and their code is the worst I have ever seen in my 7 year career.
I don’t know exactly why their code is making me uncomfortable, but they have a lot of >500 line functions, and a lot of nested if-else, of which the conditions are random. Each if condition could be >20 lines long. How they managed to debug their own code is a mystery to me.
They were level 4 (or software 2) when they still in my team. Now they switched job, and landed as a level 6/7 in the new company. I feel terrible if some junior engineers were coached by them.
