Content What's the worst code you've seen a paid programmer X write? Danny Kodicek, Educational Software Developer and Teacher Answered Jun 24 Without a doubt, my own. The worst piece of programming I ever did, which shames me to this day, was when a friend asked me to put together a countdown clock for the London 2012 Olympic committee. The announcement was due to be made whether London had won the bid, they were having a party, and they wanted a countdown on the wall.
