I have written bad code. I recently re-gained a former client. I looked at the code and I couldn't believe I wrote it. But I started thinking about the things that happened during the project and realized that I had suggested rewriting the code several times and ended up patching the code to meet some new and different business requirement.

So when I start reviewing other's code I do it only to determine the structure and I have long stop judging code because I don't know the circumstances.
