    The question is, was nothing done because they’re incompetent or because they don’t care about the job and were able to do nothing with a “good” excuse

      Or because you forgot one very crucial part?

      I had that happen to me as a junior. The other seniors weren’t even able to help, so in the end nothing was done. IIRC it was an old python app which the OG author explained the nonsense logic of, but not how to actually run it, or vice versa. Either who the whole project was fucked up

        Of course, the assumption was that the senior was actually competent and non-malicious, which may of course be false.

        I have a similar story. I started a new job and inherited a ball of mud written in Python while the creator was out for a few weeks. When he got back, he was grumpy about my changes. I guess he preferred it with more bugs 🤷‍♂️
