At the moment I have to deal with code written only last year that uses long depreciated frameworks and awful logic. In shorts it's an unreadable mess so full of programmer sins it makes brainfuck look beautiful.

It was coded by experienced contractors at great cost whose entire body of work I have judged to be far below the reasonable standard of a competant developer. I've actively called for them be sued and have costs returned several times.

Although rare, as professionals we're subject to a professional obligation to weed out the most reckless of our community. Anything less and we risk being knowingly dishonest.
