>>715489873I think a fitting analogy for his godawful code is to compare it to an electrical system:
1. You can have all your wiring done tidily, properly insulated, wires spliced with the correct tools, labels or color coded if necessary, cable ties, etc.
2. You can have a third world slum tier wiring, where the whole thing is a spaghetti of cables and splicing is done haphazardly.
On the surface, both seemingly work, but the second one will be way more likely to break or stop working, and when it inevitably does, it will be a lot harder to find the source of the problem and fix it.
For someone who is constantly giving development advice to people, his code is beyond unacceptable, and he set a really bad example by not fixing that garbage.
