You never gave any details on why the code is "messy" or made you go
"ugh", so no you gave no such examples. Which is a pretty odd position
to put yourself in to be honest, anyone can make silly unsubstantiated
claims.

All code has flaws, nothing is perfect. It's not the point. Forgive me
for being a little offended that you call my code messy for no obvious
reason.
