Throughout my years of working as a Software Engineer, I came across many occasions where I couldn’t understand the code I am looking at.
First, I thought that this is originating from a lack of knowledge from my side or my skills are not sharp enough and this was always pushing me to learn more and more.
However, after years and years of learning and implementing, I was surprised that from time to time I am still facing the same problem. How come even after 12+ years of being a Software Engineer, I am still having the same exact problem?!
Someone might answer this question that may be the code you are looking at is actually too bad and that’s why it would be so hard for anyone to understand, maybe even to the one who wrote it.
Unfortunately, no. Believe me, I hoped that this is the answer but this is not the case I am talking about. The code I am referring to is actually, by today’s standards, is perfect.
Then what?!!
