Me too - I enjoy reviewing my existing work, and slowly over months and years with fresh eyes, I modify my code to be shorter or clearer. Some evidence exists in the history of https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code , for example https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code/commits/master/avl-tree-list/avltreelist.rs https://github.com/nayuki/Nayuki-web-published-code/commits/... . It's funny you call yourself "pessimizer", because you seem to be good at optimizing.
