That is so funny. I had no idea who you were referring to but it fits Ryan so well that I had to say it, just for a joke!

When you know that no one understands you just as much you never understand anyone else, you will know you do not understand that, either.
In that state, there is a very small chance wisdom may begin.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it.

I've been looking for an implementation of Kademlia in C# (not, it's not a disease) and found this, which actually looks pretty good. It seems they have implemented all the concepts.
The only problem is that their implementation is entangled with RavenDB, and the fact that they are using a DHT for an audio player, UDP transport layer (that's fine, but not for testing, where you want to completely spoof the transport layer), and other annoyances (like, who the heck uses log4net anymore???) and WCF bindings 
Why? Why can't people write a nice coherent, independent, library with proper inversion of control, interfaces, etc., that completely decouples the DHT from the specific application. 
Now I have to go through the code and extract all this shyte, which I think is still more efficient that rewriting/debugging everything from scratch.
What's particularly disappointing is that code seems well written and documented, I would have expected better from the people that wrote this, given the quality of their stuff. The dichotomy makes me think they borrowed some stuff from somewhere else. Or, given that it's written by two people, maybe their architectural skills were orthogonal. 
Example:
Log4Net is used almost everywhere. But then...
Console.WriteLine("Storing resource from peer " + peer);

It's not perfection, it's good coding practice!

I agree. It also depends the skills and on the goal of the developers in question. Sometimes you just want to "get the job done" and not worry about extensibility and overridability, etc. Being overly concerned with that can lead to over architecting.

I've been there - all too often it's "get this thing out the door" instead of taking the time to architect it. Then they wonder why it takes so long to implement changes.

I would not be surprised if the code was refactored to use log4net and they forgot some old console writes.
As for the other stuff, I feel your pain.

No one, that code is at least 6 years old though. Looks like a rip of even older code from the Daylight project (which is very dead now). So it might be 8 years old or so, and that also explains the inconsistencies.

I do. It seems to be my fate to keep 20+ year old application that have been ported to .Net alive. Often enough I'm hapy that a single library for loging has been used (at least most of the time).
My own code also tends to get as old as a turtle and I would not be doing very much anymore if I always was ripping out libraries that are not fashionable enough anymore. Even Microsoft's efforts to drain all fun and motivation from those projects by changing everything, only to sell us yet another windows version, has not made me do that. The more they make me feel like a donkey that's being baited with a carrot, the less I'm inclined to play along. Don't fix it as long as it's not broken.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.

I did not write .net 3.5, hence it was broken.
I reworte it and named it 4.0.
Then someone else decide Core was a good way to go.
I have not looked at it yet, so might be broken.

I understand your frustration but you get a solution that works for free and you still complain? Maybe you share your results with the community when you are done!?

Well, it doesn't quite work because it's entangled.  That said, I imagine that the same complaint can be made for code I have on GitHub.

That was the intent. Detangle it, understand thoroughly the implementation of the Kademlia algorithm, document it and post it on CP. Assuming that'll be my next article, that'll make 214 I've contributed to this site so far.
