Me, six months ago: "This is elegant, maintainable, future-proof code!"

Also me, today: "Who the hell wrote this shit?!"

It's funny how code apparently decomposes even though not a single byte has changed.

@fribbledom I'm sure I was once told that the first law of programming is that any code that you wrote yourself more than 6 months ago is indistinguishable from code written by some other bugger

@fribbledom I‘m pretty sure when the day comes and I think „wow, that’s flawless! who tf wrote this?!!“ and git blame shows my name, I am screwed. Because I learned nothing since and forgot I even wrote that „flawless“ piece of code.
