Former coworker wrote very efficient code but spelling was not their forte, which was problematic when it came to the two L's in tessellation and related classes..
Someone on my team now is very adept with modern C++ and uses all the latest features I can't keep straight in my head. All their loops that can be range based for loops are. They can probably write a lambda correctly on the first try. There are lambdas in their code. This is probably a feature.

Someone else on my team now uses a Mac, and every now and then some Unicode hyphen character makes its way into comments and my Linux box displays a mysterious character when I page through the code that always catches me off guard. I could go on and on about all of our recognizable quirks, but living in a code base with that history is like living in a Berkeley Craftsman home. (7/10)
