Yea, it is a totally fan to work with this code after a responsible developer leaves a company. No types, no annotations, no abstractions, no migrations, just plain SQL.


I can't read if you're being snarky or if you are being earnest.

If snarky, is this based on something that actually happened to you? If so, I would love to hear how that actually went about, and what it is you are unable to grasp when things aren't bogged down by complexity?

If earnest, I'm glad more people prefer code that isn't littered with premature abstractions, redundant types, and useless comments expressing what can be more clearly read in the actual code.
