Haha I’ve been working at the same place for 9 years. Last year I came across some code and thought “who the fuck wrote this shit”. Looked at the history. I wrote it 7 years earlier. Always fun to dunk on old code but still appreciate it pays the bills.

Sometimes it may however still be the best solution but your future self was unable to figure out why because your former self was too lazy to properly document the code.
