It wasn't technically inherited software, since no one imposed it on me, but when I shop around for open source libraries I tend to prefer those that some in-code docs and a few high level tests to check that the APIs keep working from a version to the next. The worst code bases I inherited, on the other hand, are a lot memorable. The absolute worse was a ~500k-ish line of code WordPress/BuddyPress mess of undocumented spaghetti, complete with a slew of modifications to WP and BP core files. It took me weeks to put the latter in separate plugins in order to upgrade the mess. |
