Examples of the WTFs or examples of other projects I was able to work on with little experience?

The biggest WTF for me is you want to solve problem X. Great someone has written some code in a library to solve X. You want to understand it. Cool, let's look at the source. It uses source transpiler #2 of the big 4, bundler #1 of the big 5, ui library #33 of the big 50, and oh yeah it uses proxies to make everything return a promise so g'luck debugging that.

Yeah, its just not something I believe I should be promoting, as a developer, as a solution to anything.

Its like .. Sure, meth might be fun, but I definitely don't think I wanna hang out when all the people in the room are doing it.
