We did a small automated review on our code base at work. We discovered that multiple single functions written by my colleagues have a cyclomatic complexity of over 420.

I can't think of words to describe how shit that is.

@irene multiple 1000 line single functions

What the actual fuck

I thought this was a 420 joke. Then I looked up cyclomatic complexity.

Good god

Actually one is 500

It's over 400!!!

Now seriously, that's messed up :/

Damn bro that code blazing it for real 😂

This would be a valuable learning experience for everyone in the team. I can though, only imagine how the code written by 2 of the developers that worked where I am at before would score........brb i am gonna need a bigger drink

@endor So it's a bit... high?

Wow, worst I had seen was 'bout 160. That was a function nobody dared to touch.

Holy crap! Wikipedia says that optimal complexity is 10...15.
But 420!.. 😬😰😱

I believe one of the functions at my previous job was 360?

But features there were often broken up into a rats nest of interdependent functions, each having shared state and globals and the works. So technically their individual complexities were low, but good fucking luck following any of it.

Anyway, I should run my current codebase through this. I'm really curious.
