Ah, so you can't argue with me, so you're going to try the ol' appeal to authority ("i've worked on such big code bases that you'll never see").
Uh, no. I asked if you understand such a context and if you have such data. Going by what you state, you do. A simple "yes" would have sufficed, and you could have left out the projection. Thank you for including the projection, as it is another valuable "signal."
The idea that '"clever"' programmers is a thing is incorrect.
There are good programmers and bad programmers.
Bad code causes technical debt either way, and I've seen both done quite often.
You do understand the use of quotes, then? "Clever" programming is thought to be clever by the perpetrator, but is actually bad programming and comprises technical debt. So either you are contradicting yourself above, or you are implying that "bad programmers" know they are bad, but do bad things anyways? This doesn't fit my experience.
