I don't understand why people are dissing this.

It does what it's designed to do, and fills a specific need for one website. It's not there as a teaching aid, nor is it meant to be shared for other people to use elsewhere.

Not everything has to be gold-standard code full of perfect variable names, extensive comments and good whitespacing. If you have a day job that isn't primarily writing code, and/or you are likely to be the only person ever working on that code, who cares if it's not up to the standard that people around here seem to expect of every project?

As long as the code works, anything else is just gravy. If you were to peel back the layers on all the major websites out there, I'm sure you'd find less than stellar code everywhere.
