You know that feeling when you revisit your old code and suddenly wonder if you were drunk, sleep-deprived, or just fundamentally broken as a human being? Two months is that perfect sweet spot where the code is old enough to be incomprehensible, but recent enough that you can't blame a different version of yourself.

The horror sets in when you realize there are no comments, variable names like x2 and temp_final_ACTUAL, and a function that's somehow 400 lines long. You start questioning your career choices, your education, and whether that CS degree was worth anything at all.

The real kicker? It works perfectly in production. You're terrified to touch it because you have absolutely no idea how or why it functions. It's like archaeological code—best left buried and undisturbed.
