Is that a problem of yours? If it is your code - either deal with it and fix it or assign someone else.

I've usually heard these stories from older coworkers who were telling horror stories of past times - usually that involves low salary, terrible working conditions, etc. not a thing even older coworkers wants to remember without a shudder. Bad code always comes with bad salary, rushed code and other disasters. And no one - even old coworkers want to do anything with that bad code and it will be tormenting older coworkers for years. Sometimes it is a relief that someone is so eager to deal with that stuff that no one else wants to deal anymore.

PS Change your attitude. Have a laugh and carry on... or go where your older and smarter colegues have went already.

Well, would it make any difference if it was my code? It doesn't matter to me. I certainly produced some low quality code here and there. So what? I don't mind correcting it or having it corrected. But I am a human being and as such, I try to treat those with whom I work (or have worked) as I would like to be treated. Which excludes making fun of them or ridiculing them.

As for my salary, I'm not complaining about it either. Also, I'm not a dinosaur like you seem to think.
