Yes, It Really is Three Tiers

“It didn’t help when the Java Guru showed off his code, either: a single Servlet where the code for a single method ran over thirty pages (he liked to print stuff out a lot), used string concatenation to build the HTML, interspersed direct call to JDBC, and didn’t contain a single comment. It was a work of art, in a Jackson Pollock sort of way.”

I love the reference to Jackson Pollock. Fits for a lot of the legacy code in the ancient depths of the applications I work on.
