No need to get personal man, relax. I'm getting my PhD in Computer Science, and worked several years as professional programmer. In my not-so-limited experience, Lennart's code is clean, fast, and usually does what he says it will do. So, no, I don't "already" know that. You could argue about the overall design, or what goals his code has, but its quality you are the only one questioning it. So again, please, [citation needed]. You still haven't provided any reference to support your claim that Lennart's code (specifically systemd's code) is "poorly" done.
