I probably spend 5-10% of my time on average, and more in bad situations, going through code trying to purge past mistakes. Part of why this takes so much time is that there’s always some special idiot who is writing new code in the bad way and won’t stop.
But they are typically lazy and copy and paste that code from existing places. If you can remove the last copy from the code, they will finally stop.
And now that special idiot is a piece of software that never sleeps, never eats, and never forgets? What could go wrong?
