I remember a long time ago, I worked at a java shop and we were cursed to use Eclipse. One coworker was saying his IDE was really slow, and almost unusable. So I come over to look, and the whole freaking codebase was just one giant Java file. It was basically at the limit of what the compiler will allow.
I’ve personally witnessed the seventh entry to this meme: lines of code over 1000 columns wide.
I try to forget, but the horror never fades.
