I found a linked list bug in FreeBSD because I am less smart than my buddy who was like it's trivial bla bla bla. I am like wait, lets back up, I don't understand this...

I think one sniff out shifty code, as soon as you open the file you can tell there are going to be bugs in there. I am not saying, well groomed high level code is high quality or bug free. A couple trivial deficiencies and there a probably a whole lot more you don't see.

Like if the code has a low to zero number of tests. Or the build system includes top level shell commands.
