I really agree with this, I have worked with so many bad code base and all the time when you apply for job position 70-80% of the time is to go fix someone else design decisions.

I know, right? it's so frustrating. but, this is also exactly why I disagree that CS fundamentals are important (especially in a professional setting). it's easy to forget that Microsoft and all the FAANG companies are a minority. the vast majority of companies are small and mid-sized shops that barf out garbage code.
