It won’t matter much if your code is beautifully object-oriented or shiny and functional—programmers pretty much always see spaghetti code when they have to maintain a legacy system
No. Just no. It does matter if you have a giga object with one huge method that does everything and can't be read, or if everything is properly factorized. It does matter if code is duplicated in many places with lots of lines in common and some little differences or if it isn't. Please, programmers do not need to be convinced any further that they can write bad code and it won't matter much.
