Ask HN: Ridiculous Coding Practices by companies you have worked for

I once worked for a company that did not allow us to use object-oriented programming. This is because their 2 most senior programmers did not know OOP.

Other things include putting a lot of business logic in stored procedures (SQL) so that migration is easier.

We were also not allowed to use folders, all web pages should be on the root directory. I can't remember the reasoning for this.
