The self-awareness is painful. Nothing unites software engineers quite like staring at someone else's code and muttering "what absolute maniac wrote this garbage?" only to run git blame and discover it was you 6 months ago. The sacred ritual of complaining about legacy code is practically in our job description at this point. At least electricians have actual wires to untangle - we're just untangling the fever dreams of caffeinated developers who thought variable names like temp1, temp2, and finalTempForReal were perfectly reasonable.
