All fun and games till the PO requests some new feature or change and some poor soul has to add that into your code trying not to break it
Bonus points if the poor soul is you
-
Faster to rewrite the whole thing
-
Try selling that to management.
And no, it wouldn't be faster.
-
-
Fell for the “it’s just an mvp we’ll rewrite it if it’s successful” trap huh.
-
Thank you for your bonus points.

BUT WHY IS THE RAM GONE?!?
-
RAM is temporary, meeting the minimum viable product standard is forever

The Pirate's Code Style and Documentation Standard....be more like guidelines.

My boss once asked me whether their entrance test was too hard after several candidates sent him something that wouldn't even run.
-
I thought my entrance test was far too easy, I only had to create a blog in my web framework and show doing the basics like validations, secure parameters, etc.
I learned later on that most couldn’t pass because they came from other languages and thought they could get by without knowing anything.

Classic write-up!
Although, now that I'm an interviewer, I kind of despise FizzBuzz, because nobody thinks clearly during a high pressure interview.
Whenever possible, I love to talk with a candidate about some concrete past source code they claim to have written. I've better luck putting the candidate at ease and then talking through their contributions to the code.
Of course, when I get enough candidates who shared source code, I don't even invite the ones who didn't share source code for an interview.

One guy completed it, so it was just perfect

It worksish, but look at it the wrong way and it'll collapse entirely.

COBOL has entered the chat: If it ain't broke don't fix it.
-
Given the engineer's amendment to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." is usually "If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.", I can only surmise that COBOL must be one of those languages that are so terrible that they deter their programmers from wanting to do that.
-
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
I loathe that line
-
If it ain’t broke… maintain it.
-
+1 - the word "loathe" doesn't get used often enough. The only time I remember hearing it in a movie was in Sixteen Candles.

I wrote "some code" back when I was a child, if you asked me to explain how it works all I could tell you is "through the power of santa's little helper".
