Am I the only one who likes looking at my old code? Generally I feel like it’s alright.
Usually the first project when I’m learning how to use some new language or environment is super-shitty. I can tell it’s very bad, usually I don’t like interacting with it if I have to make changes, but it’s still not overly painful. It’s just bad code. And that one exception aside I generally like looking at my code.
I think age of code plays a big part. 2 years ago: Yeah, I could do better, but it’s workable. 15 years ago: Delete everything and just start from scratch.
