I've tried to get better but then in previous jobs I was working on code written by a dead man for a database that stopped being supported 10 years prior. (using asp and a foxpro db)

Oh how we laughed when the accounts system died again because 1gb databases aren't actually that big...

That and stored procedures are the Devils work (or at least that was the impression given that no data manipulation was ever done in sql until I started working on it).
