Have you ever looked at code you had written years or even decades ago and asked yourself either:

1) How this this even work?

2) What the hell does this do?

3) or, I can’t believe I wrote that. (In horror or serendipitously)

    TBH this applies to code I've written just weeks or even days ago.

    Long ago, but I remember the time of PHP 4, we had thousands of functions in a single 8 MB file.

    Sure. When you notice what you did worked, but looks shitty => you improved

    Most times all of them in varying levels of disappointment in myself ...

    Sometimes I look at some old code that I’ve written that totally illogical but it works and when junior colleagues ask me to explain, I’m so embarrassed that I say i say busy and will talk with them later.
