I am beginning to suspect that 90% of programming memes are made by beginners and 90% of the engagement with them is also from beginners. Maybe I’m just projecting. I remember seeing this stuff when I was starting and just assuming that must be how it is.
I can look at old code that I wrote and feel good about the growth I’ve made.
I also can look at old code I wrote, which I need to understand/update, and be really annoyed at my past self.
How annoyed I am is entirely based on what I need to do to the code right now. The fact is, it’s way easier to be annoyed at myself than annoyed at other people.
