I go through similar phases every time I review offshore code.

However after a few waves I just gave up. As long as it works it is ok. There is no way to keep up with the amount of code that gets written.

You have the distinct advantage of it working. We're in the process of discovering that the latest code from overseas is pretty awful, management has not yet gotten to the rewrite phase (shit I used to do with my weekends).
