Pretty sure that's a law of physics. Programmer entropy is monotonic increasing. 2nd law of code dynamics? Related: the quantity of clear, understandable code in the universe is constant. Every time you make some bit of code better, somebody somewhere makes some bit of code worse. And that's probably the same coder, in some related bit of code.
