One of us!
The most prolific writer of absolutely shit legacy code, in my experience, was always me. I was happy I had evolved to at least be able to recognize it as shit. Sometimes I didn't yet have a better idea!
Sometimes I knew it was shit when I committed it, too. Deadlines, frustration, tip-toes, and maybe even imposter syndrome contribute to that.
