Nice, now we are getting personal! Interesting, how much you know about me from just a comment. And still you miss the simplest of points, which there are: meaningful variable names, meaningful procedure names, explaining comments.

Perhaps it is not as much that "I can't" because of incapability or stupidity, but simply, that I wont, because of the lack of care given to creating something meeting minimal standards for modern software development and best practices.

modern software development and best practices

Yes, that's all too familiar to me. The dogmatic cargo-culting buzzword-bingo "religion" whose only claim to fame is in effectively producing gargantuan Enterprise Quality™ software --- I mean solutions --- which everyone inevitably hates because they are ridiculously bloated and overengineered to the point that the simplest things take an absurd amount of time and energy, and also have abysmal UX too...

"best practices are best not practiced."
