I don't think this is legit because even as I was reading it, I was expecting it to sound a lot worse than it ended up sounding. Like, it didn't sound great or anything, but it didn't sound nearly as fucked up as I would expect firsthand descriptions of piled-on legacy code to sound after almost 50 fucking years.
And "the specific resource ID" is almost certainly for localization of the text
Yea, this doesn't sound horrible for what it is. Plenty of Linux systems are this bad.
But did you read the last line? This isn't classic control panel, this is the new control panel.
Same shit trying to implement with systems on the backend older than a lot of people using them today I'd imagine
Yeah this is classic legacy code.
Complicated code is when 700 projects are all entangled and when you add a 3D bar for measuring purposes (it was just a bar like 100 nanometers long so you could get a feel for size in 3D scans, in the 3D viewer), the up (not the down) mouse scroll stopped working for sliders in all the 2D GUIs...
That is crappy code and I was there when we got that bug (Avizo software).
