Spaghetti with meatballs (programming)
 | This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (July 2008) |
In computer science, spaghetti with meatballs is a pejorative term used to describe a loosely constructed Object-oriented system. Much like traditional spaghetti code, the term spaghetti with meatballs is a description of poor coding, usually by a junior-level software engineer, and typically by one whose previous programming experience is exclusively with procedural programming. Alternatively, it may be the result of a system whose development has transitioned over a long life-cycle.
In this usage, spaghetti describes twisted, tangled and unstructured code, while meatballs describes the use of objects, thrown in for good measure.
