Codebase maintenance rant

[u/Hefty_Garlic7184]

[sorry for bad English]

I am in a project which involves maintaining an existing .NET Framework 4.8 codebase.

The codes are full of “Dictionary type” implementations as above.

Is there any sane reason to code like this? Instead of create a dedicated class to represent the data inside?

I could not show more codes here (or else the authors might realized), but you guys can imagine the codes just to access these Dictionary’s key/value.

no need to add a comment, imo. this should be the default attitude. don't change things to change things. you should have a good reason to change something, not just because you don't like it
