I recall, with a shudder, how one fine day a high-priority Javascript
project (high-priority as in, it was due the week before it was given to
me) was dumped on my lap, consisting of a non-trivial class hierarchy
and bunch of modules of at least 3-4 layers of abstraction, with
absolutely no documentation whatsoever. No design docs, no code
comments, nothing. It was "read the code, pray you'll understand it all
in 3 days, implement the new features of questionable feasibility, and
hope it doesn't break". Some of the code involved 4-5 levels of nested
closures accessing badly-named global variables. You can imagine the
hilarity that ensues when the guy who wrote the mess leaves and a new
person comes in having no idea what the code is supposed to do.
Example, this post is not threaded correctly for me in Thunderbird.
Nor for me (Opera 12.11 Win32 Windows7).
