Things I Hate…
As a CTO and an architect, I reviewed more codes than anyone can take in a lifetime. It’s a real kick in the ass now that I actually have to work on the code I find irritating. Here’s a short list of Rails code that I just can’t stand.
1. One controller apps – the entire app is in one controller with thousands of lines of code.
2. Embedding functions in views rather than putting them in helpers. It’s a modern day spaghetti code.
3. Overly partialed views – putting everything in partials when it really doesn’t need to be that way.
4. Fat controllers – everything’s in controllers, including the business logics.
5. Uncommented code – no, not everything’s obvious
It’s clear that even with a very opinionated framework, you can still write extremely ugly code.
