• I hate to tell you (well maybe not 🙂 ) Us 'old' programmers have talked about how code smells, and giving code the 'sniff test' for a lot longer.For me, I only go back to the early 80's but I heard it from programmers that came before me. But I'll give them 'CodeSmell' (we didn't drop the space). Of course, asking how code smells or what the sniff test says is subjective - but I've been doing it and calling it that for more than 30 years and it is still a very valuable tool. (Got to use ALL our senses!) 😉
