Not poorly coded. Just ugly. Of course "ugly is in
(the eye of) the beholder". He did not say WHAT he found ugly about it. At least he did not say that it was fugly.
The point was that it is a lot easier to criticize, condemn, and complain about somebody ELSE's hard work, when you have no experience doing that kind of work yourself. If you knew how hard it is, you may not be quite so critical.
And not suggesting improvements that would make it better (CONSTRUCTIVE criticism) is just plain destructive criticism at its worst.
