I can relate to that. Things get worse with age: I once googled for a piece of code (I2C driver) for an embedded platform, only to find out that I already wrote one myself, and managed to completely forget about it. Turns out it's a good habit to publish what you wrote.
- scoutt 4y agoOh, yes. I know the feeling of finding forgotten code. When looking at the code I say to myself "this is actually good" (I always think my old code sucks), followed by the question "how did I managed to find time to write all this?".
- Xeoncross 4y agoSeveral times I've been searching for something that led me to a stackoverflow question or github issue in which I had apparently written the accepted answer years before.
- dotancohen 4y agoA few years ago I was discussing some bit of Apache configuration, the other dev pulls up the Apache docs to prove I'm wrong. It turns out that I was wrong - because when I wrote those docs on the Apache wiki my phrasing was ambiguous. It was funny showing him the commit history of that page but I had to concede that by a certain interpretation of the phrasing he was not incorrect. I've since learned to be slightly more verbose.
