You should write "without bugs"
This advice just seems like idealism. Telegram's ChatActivity is 41k lines of code

Open Source Development
Telegram repository that caught my eye is a project that runs your own messenger with high-speed and high-security on Android device. Why I chose this repository? First of all, I love to use this messenger. Secondly, it was founded by Pavel Durov who founded earlier Russian version of Facebook. Besides all the things that I listed above, one of the most attractive criterias of this project while I was exploring is that the major part was written on OOP languages Java/C++.

"We ran out of columns" – The best, worst codebase
The worst codebase I've ever worked on was the Telegram client for Android. I mean just look at this file, it's so huge GitHub gives up rendering it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...
Or this one, it implements EVERYTHING for a message in a single class, all non-service message types, all drawn manually on a canvas "for performance", and all input processed manually too: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...
I even had the permission from the main developer to refactor some of it, but I never got around to actually doing it.
It's a miracle this app works at all.
