Great examples Tobias.

In order to judge this, I imagine you would have to know the WordPress  
way of doing things. For me, even the general layout and formatting of  
the code is going to say a lot about the person who wrote it, their  
experience level, and whether or not the code smells ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell 
  ).
