Uh, yes? We were all inexperienced at some point. Just the linked file is like 300k lines of unminified code, I doubt it's all written by PHDs with 20 years of experience
Some would argue that owning a PhD degree does not necessarily guarantee half decent engineering skills.
It's the "without proper code review" part that I consider malice, not being inexperienced.
