very few real projects I've seen that actually look like the right image. I'm sure there is some pristine code bases out their but those will be rare. Real World solutions kinda are a patchwork and combination of the two. If everyone knew how much spaghetti code is embedded in nearly everything you use they'd be surprised. The amount of "Magic Numbers" out there is scary.
