Oops, didn't mean to be too too negative.
I say embarrassing in the sense of, I've definitely shoved out awful code because something needed to get out(tm). And with large companies, deadlines that cause that situation are inevitable.
But I also say it like that because, well, I've seen code that causes (objectively easy-to-fix) crashes but still ships because of one reason or another: laziness, politics, inexperience. It's a part of software engineering I'm still trying to accept.
This leak has made me understand clearly that code quality is not what makes a product great.
I guess that’s something.
The jenkinsfiles are mostly nice and clean though. I’ve definitely seen worse of those.
