    Naw. Not knowing pisses me off. I’m gonna have to deal with it again in the future, probably, so might as well set some time aside to figure out wtf is happening.

      Exactly this. If you don’t know, it’s broken.

      i used to believe in this; but then i learned the hard way that old/opaque code is gross game of hot potato where you will pay the price if your social standing in your organization isn’t privileged enough.

        Guess I was lucky to have a social standing privileged enough, as a junior dev.

        But also, probably because they actually required determinism, with it being critical and all.
