Should have been deleted on sight. I'm so fucking tired of running across code that the author didn't bother to comment. The fact that someone would do that with a particularly complex piece of software is frankly inexcusable. I don't care that you're an autistic software savant, other people have to be able to decipher your code after you get hit by a bus.
It's what happens when a solo engineer is siloed off and doesn't need to get code reviews while writing complex systems. I've seen it way too many times and it's always awful.
