    Code that you have to carefully, slowly, pick through and gently refactor

    More precisely, code that you have to refactor using a possibly-metaphoric flamethrower.

    Or a real one, take your pick.

    Flamethrowers represent a workplace hazard and using them to enforce code quality through corporal punishment can lead to regulator complaints about workplace safety. Especially if you are operating within a shared office space. Please stick to the approved method of force feeding them milk and honey and tying them up next to an anthill to rethink their choices.

    I don't think there is a truly reactive JS framework. They're all shoddy, relying on asynchronous signals and global sychronization moments, while maintaining multiple states, and trying to avoid update cascades. I think this WTF is caused by two programmers who don't understand React in all its gory details. Not that I blame them for that!

    Ah, the good old days of discussing the pros and cons of various LARTs.

    Ah, but I wasn't suggesting that the flamethrower should be used for ... chastising ... the offending programmer(s), nor for menacing them.

    No, the idea was to apply it to the code...

    As a monk in good standing, I applaud your attitude. As an observer of both private and government workplaces, I feel obliged to ask why you would trust having such a devastating physical weapon around your cow-orkers when they've proven they can't even handle code.
