Good read. However, I feel this is very subjective to the kind of code that you've been asked to maintain. In my experience, more often than not we learn something new from someone else's code. Either it's style of coding or clarity of approach. It becomes difficult when you're asked to maintain patchy and obscure code regardless of who wrote it. Taking accountability of maintaining such code puts jobs at risk. Better to call it what it is being objective rather than emotional.
