A good sense of βcode smellβ is one of the most valuable programming skills. I think your βprobablyβ is justified: if youβre doing X, you should look twice at how youβre doing it. Maybe itβs right, but usually itβs not, so itβs worth a pause and a thought.

huh, youβre right! Iβm 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, βfixβ it) and when I see a project that itβs 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
