I've worked with C# off and on for over a decade, and never encountered anything close to that. Maybe the trick was that I was working with competent people.
Now the Fortran code I've encountered, that's the stuff of nightmares (to be fair to Fortran I've also encountered good code, but there seems to be a generation of embedded developers who have no formal programming training that all adopted a style of Fortran inspired by Cthulhu).

Wow, what a repo. I can't even tell if the author is serious or this is some tinderbox-dry satire, bravo either way.
I'm sad that I've worked with plenty of codebases that look exactly like that and I twitched a little bit browsing around. :)

You can see the exact equivalent in the Java world.
Everything looked like this: https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...
Maybe it's better now but the Java/C# practice of shoveling largely empty classes around with an IDE isn't something I'd point to as a good example.
