    I wish I could, but I wouldn't have a job then. Almost every project I've worked on has had at least some code that will infuriate you, and some more that will make you want to find the programmer and beat him to death with bananas. I unfortunately cannot demand that I work only with awesome code, but nobody stops me from writing good code. :)

    So you are saying that there was at least one case where, as an experienced programmer, you came into a legacy application developed by multiple programmers over years and all of the code was excellent?
