Wrong forum. Programming questions should be posted in Q&A. And your question is precisely as well defined as the rest of them there...

Lucky for me then that downvoting is disabled in this forum, huh?

Please don't cheat: you are known to be good with lambda calculus, that is more advanced (two letters, at least) than the iota one.

Just curious...

All of them.
From the frying pan (Ruby on Rails) into the fire (C#/.NET) for me.
Embedded SQL in the code
passwords stored in plain text in the DB
http not https for web service calls
no encryption
Model-View-Controller architecture? Nope. Everything is embedded in the forms.
VISUAL BASIC!!!
etc.
Why do I keep finding this idiot developers? I have a list of names of programmers never to hire, if anyone is interested.
And the icing on the cake? The guy who left has stolen the code and is trying to start is own company. Criminal lawsuit is pending.

Looks you're just a bit concerned about security.

Really don't know. Maybe you're unlucky. Have a look at the Q&A in order to find out the brightests...

Wow, he's really a criminal to stole such a code.

And that is true. In my early years (30+ years ago) of software development, I wrote code like that. I asked myself, why is this sh*t so difficult to maintain, extend, etc. I came up with the MVC pattern long before it became in vogue, and I'm intimately familiar with its failings now as well.
However, nowadays I know a lot better, but keep finding "experienced" programmers that clearly don't think. These are the programmers that the company cannot let go of because they're the only ones that know how their sh*t works and how to fix it. It's a huge liability when one walks out the door, but if replaced with a good programmer, ultimately saves the company a lot of money.

So in fact they're extremely skilled at appearing not to be extremely skilled?

None, the diaper would be too big, and there's no spec.

Indeed, it was a trick question.
But then: How many engineers does it take to change their boss[^]???

Well according to the statistics: None, they got personnel for that.

The client first tried a hardware solution, but the proposed equipment was incompatible with the existing infrastructure.
Then the client tried a software solution on the recommendation of his *nix friends that were experts in Javascript and node.js, but once the software was delivered, there was no documentation and he couldn't figure out all the command line options to download the various open source dependencies to get the code to compile.
Then the client outsourced the problem to a new consulting agency which charged him $250/hr an hour and finally delivered a candle without a wick.
In a last ditch attempt to save shareholder money, he decided to contract it out to an Indian firm. The resulting light bulb only turned on when it was dark in India and blew the fuse, but it didn't matter much because the bulb shattered after a few days anyways.
Giving up, the client decided to go back to college to learn how hardware works and how to write software. After years of studying, he's now patenting this[^] and starting his own light bulb replacement franchise. He's getting lots of publicity, everyone is talking about this new amazing technology, investors are throwing money at him, and Docker is working on creating a container for it.
