When You Read Your 3 Years Old Code

legacy-code-memes, code-quality-memes, technical-debt-memes, self-review-memes, refactoring-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Opening that dusty repo from 3 years ago and finding your brain sitting next to a gas can. Perfect metaphor for the cognitive dissonance of reading your old code and thinking "Who wrote this garbage? Oh wait, it was me." The only options are to burn it all down or somehow reattach your brain and figure out what past-you was thinking when you decided that 47 nested if-statements was an elegant solution.

The Asymmetric Memory Allocation Of Programming

The graph perfectly captures the asymmetry of our coding journey. Learning code? A methodical staircase where you climb one concept at a time. Forgetting code?

The brain's garbage collector is ruthlessly efficient at deallocating exactly what you'll need tomorrow.
