Not to detract from this point, but I don’t think I understand what half the code I have written does if it’s been more than a month since I wrote it…

I have heard that before and never understood that; I understand code I wrote 40 years ago fine. I have issues understanding code by others, but my own I understand no matter when it was written. Of course others don't understand my code until they dive in and, like me theirs, forget how it works weeks after.

I do find all my old code, even from yesterday, total shite and it should be rewritten, but probably never will be.
