What’s fun is criticizing someone’s code and lack of proper comments/documentation, and then realizing you wrote it 3+ years ago.
My main project is in a private repo with me as the sole dev but I swear there is some dumbass pushing shitty code.
At first I get embarrassed when that happens. But then I take a little pride in knowing that means I've grown in knowledge in my field... Then I get mad at how past me was so dumb and now I have to fix HIS stuff! Screw that guy
Some days ago, I was complaining about some asinine decision on one of the systems I have to take care of with a programmer. The programmer then remembered that the thing I was complaining about was something that I asked to be added in the first place. He also reminded me of the why, but that knowledge simply made me wonder what the fucking fuck I was thinking back then.
