This makes sense, most of that explanation in the screenshot reeks of novices working with something they don't understand.

Copying and pasting a current example and changing the names... yep.

Instead of making it worse you could extract it to a new file. Make an interface. Write a unit test. Anything.

The guy wonders why the file is 15k lines long and then describes exactly why.

Right? Like my dude, bare minimum at least write down those steps in a text document so you can reference it the next time you have to add something. Bonus points for putting it on some shared internal wiki or whatever Microsoft uses.

I don't think anybody gets paid enough to write that down. In fact, they might get punished for wasting company time. They could open source it and people would automatically fix these things. Who knows.

Or write a tool that can do all these steps for you, reliably!
