A good sense of β€œcode smell” is one of the most valuable programming skills. I think your β€œprobably” is justified: if you’re doing X, you should look twice at how you’re doing it. Maybe it’s right, but usually it’s not, so it’s worth a pause and a thought.

huh, you’re right! I’m trained on a different kind of code. In C# in particular, which I use mostly to do sneaky stuff (patch/inject runtime code to, um, β€œfix” it) and when I see a project that it’s too clean it smells

I also see python code (I code regular stuff in it) that could be written much more cleanly using monkey-patching
