Graduated in Digital Media M.Sc. now developing the next generation of educational software. Since a while I develop full stack in Javascript using Meteor. Love fitness and Muay Thai after work.
My worst nightmare was an app that was in itself well formatted code and didn't look flimsy at a first glance. The problem was that the more you dive in the more you realize that functions were named by total randomness. In the most crucial methods there were variables like a, b,c and a1, b1, c1 and so on and there was no documentation at all.
The first step you had to do when a customer opened a ticket or bug report: start the debugger. Klick step. Klick step. Klick step in. Klick step. For ages.... I was happy when I gave it to someone else (and felt sorry for him at the same time).
Everytime you get a chance to work with the code, add some pointers about how to maintain the code, which issues to fix. Even though they feel like a lot, over few iterations most of these bad naming can be fixed.
It is better to have a one page code style guide and philosophy.
