Spaghetti code was always a thing though

Yeah people going on and on about peerless human generated code reminds me of that scene in iRobot when the cop asks sonny “can a robot create a work of art?” And the robot replies “can you?”. In 30 years in this industry I’ve yet seen what I would describe as perfect and maintainable code. It’s an aspirational dream not SOP.
