> It's easy to spend a day with a codebase (that others spent years writing) and call it "bad"

Well put! When I was younger I would call codebases bad after a couple days of working with them. Now, it takes more like a couple months to fully form my opinion, although it's less about "Is this codebase good or bad?" and more like "What refactoring opportunities do we have to make this more maintainable and which ones make sense (from a bang-for-the-buck / prioritization perspective)?"
