No, this has nothing to do with adolescent tantrums. The reason for the
hostile behavior, is because after being involved in the industry. There
is nothing quite like walking into a new and *exciting* job opportunity,
and then finding that you are responsible for maintaining the code of a
12 year old who was stuck inside a 45 year old's body. Or simply said
was too lazy to comment and indent.
And it takes you 10x the time to interpret what was written as there is
no documentation of any kind (if you are lucky you will get some PHPdoc
crap which isnt of much use either. Oh wait, its even better if you are
a team leader and you are in charge of integration 10 large scale
systems, into one cohesive one. While because 5 out of the 10 systems in
question were written by this same 12 year old.
Still wondering where the hostility stems from? Or did you get the drift?
