Helsinki Syndrome

A condition that affects programmers at different rates, where they become functionally blind to the defects in legacy code they are required to work in regularly. The only known treatment is for the affected programmer to be required to explain the code to a new programmer. The embarrassment at not already having fixed the code causes a short period of clear thinking. However within a short time both programmers will suffer from the effects and it'll remain unchanged.
