I’m thinking of an environment that:
- Is written in a horrible mashup of several languages.
- Tests for “features, not platforms” as best practice (this one’s actually a good idea)
- The few people that truly understand it think it’s actually okay.
- Everyone else thinks it a rotten stinking heap that became entrenched because it was in the right place at the right (wrong?) time.
- Works around a plethora of vendor incompatibilities in basic functionality that’s meant to be part of a so-called “standard”.
Am I thinking about web development or the GNU Autotools?
