Ah, what joy that would be, but alas and alack, my career has consisted mostly
of maintaining code not written by me. In fact, my current job is not only code
not written by me, but often so abyssmally awful, with only the excuse, "Yeah,
well <the-guy-who-wrote-this> is not here any more." Pfui!
On the other hand, the guy who inherited the build system showed me a comment in
the code to the effect "This is the wrong way to do this, but by the time it
becomes a problem I expect to be long gone." Nice, eh?
