>I fixed more and more problems by removing my bosses code

Very interesting phenomenon!

Paraphrasing the Peter principle: incompetent people will be promoted until they can inflict the least harm.

In some sense, this is a natural self-defense mechanism of an organization, like how the body encapsules benign tumors in connective tissue.

I've seen consultants that would create crazier code.

He just wasn't used to Maven conventions.

Oh, and we both laughed :-)
