What interests me is what the “stink” looks like and feels like to you and why you find it so off putting. Let’s get into the weeds. I realise I sound like a therapist.
I’ll be honest, I can’t really quantify it. But the immediate stink is the nonsensical documentation and code comments it spits out. They’re completely unintelligible. I think when I see those I’m predisposed to think everything else going to be equally low quality. I usually just bounce, but when I don’t I just have a really hard time understanding wtf is going on with the code.
