I believe it's a good thing when I see code I wrote 6 months ago and think it sucks. If I thought it was perfect then that would be a sign that I hadn't learned much since I wrote it.
- MarkBook 16y agoA better question might whether you think the code you wrote 6 months ago sucks as much as the code you wrote a year ago
- sbov 16y agoThis could be a good metric to see if you are actually improving or if you are jumping the gun on labeling code sucky. A lot of people think code sucks if they simply can't understand it at a glance. Of course you think yesterday's code is awesome, you just worked on it yesterday. But in 6 months, with the issue completely out of your mind, even if you haven't advanced, you might think it sucks.
