Spaghetti with meatballs (programming)

Spaghetti with meatballs (programming)

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.
