Now to figure out how old these are.
I love this one - someone made Java annotation for ugly hacks: https://github.com/benpage26/libxron/blob/016dd953a54eacada2...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> I'd be curious to see if there's a relationship between 'ugly hack' in code commits and the languages being used Perl is not in their list. Either everything we do is an ugly hack, or everything we do is simple and elegant. :)
Or... nobody writes in Perl anymore... or... every Perl developer is a seasoned Perl developer.
I love the term 'ugly hack'. It's a very short way of saying 'a solution for a problem that assumes too much of the current context in which this component is called, and is guaranteed to break when the context changes'. It also implies 'this is intended to be temporary because I don't feel like doing the proper solution at this moment' which is accompanied with the intent 'we should fix this later' although most peo…
When I write it it usually means I know it sucks, but I'm reasonably happy with it - but if someone catches me out on it it's ok because I already criticised it myself

Some results normalized by overall language popularity. Specifically, the entry in row R and column C is 1000 * (hits for C in language R) / (hits for "the" in language R) or "---" if either the numerator or denominator was small enough not to make the top-10 list on github. All the scraping was done by hand and the numbers rounded to a limited number of places in the process, so there may very well be mistakes. [EDI…
I read your table and immediately jumped to a different conclusion: That python programmers are more sensitive to ugly hacks and more likely to call them out. Not saying I'm right, but I don't know that the data can distinguish the hypotheses.
My intuition tells me that if your alternative hypothesis were true, then php programmers have higher standards because they ajudge more code 'ugly and C++ programmers are universally perfectionists...or at least when they are not confused which it appears they usually are.
Just for fun with hypothesizing, does Python's near 50/50 split between 'ugly and 'beautiful suggest a large degree of random use? Or more interestingly, does it suggest there is a tendency to classify middle cases as extreme cases, and is this a result of the community having 'a Pythonic Way?'

There is a namespace in C++ called WTF, which probably accounts for a skew in that column.
