Sure, but something in our own code that later embarrasses us for its dumbnicity, when we've learned more, it'll royally p1ss off anyone who's already got that "extra" knowledge.

We all learn and we are always smarter afterwards. That's not what I meant. To get me that angry, someone must have done something that borders on sabotage. Something that's obviously a very bad idea and is so deeply embedded in the program that simple refactoring will not help to get rid of it.

About 100 years ago (Ok maybe not that long ago, but pre-WinNT!) we had to use a pre-processor in our build cycle for some weird and wonderful 3rd party add-on SQL-like tool. A bug in said pre-processor meant that certain header files had to have a blank line at the top or the first line of actual code got mangled.
After the 6th or 7th time of fixing the problem because someone had "tidied up" the whitespace in the file I added a comment:
I did actually get a phone call many years later (and after I had left that company) to be asked if it still applied!

Did you have to go there again and do it?

Um. Is a pre-processor a framework?

No. A paradigm and also one of the black centipedes that have been soldered to one of those green thingies in the computer.

The WTF per minute is the ONLY valid measurement of code quality we use

You do need to have an interface to the interface that interfaces with all the other interfaces.

Easy. Each developer uses their own favourite class libraries. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You're probably right. I'd bet there's 500 classes that do actual work in that thing, and 17,500 classes that individual developers at Facebook wrote as their own personal, preferred wrapper around them.
How far from the truth can I be?
