When I read consistent, cohesive code, I have a feel for its author. I may disagree with the ideas, but I can feel where the author is driving it. Other times the feel is split-brain - the code's "energy" is fractured, the work of unaligned hands each solving its own small problem, none with an idea where the whole is going. Immediately I feel it should be rewritten or refactored holistically.

Here is the paradox. Most of us are dedicated professionals with years of experience, and bad code is everywhere. Programmers I respect produce it; my own code is far from perfect. Why?
