2006 Me: You should get some of your old code out of storage and rewrite it for a lark. 2020 Me: I can’t. 2006: You can’t code anymore?!? 2020: That thing you’re writing; 2015 me sold it. 2006: You can sell code?!? 2020: Oh that’s right you don’t believe that yet.

Oldest code I still have is from a plugin for a Half-Life mod I wrote in 2003 or so. Took a whack at rewriting it without changing any functionality or the structures in which it sits.pic.twitter.com/3XrrRgOyGd

Back then the code was about my technical ability. Now the code is about team accessibility.

2006: for loops. 2013: list comprehensions. 2020: pandas dataframes Basically, no qualitative improvement. But a lot of extra memory bloat.

Write this code again. You have 3 days until we need to push it for QA, Bob is doing refractor right now so rebase from whatever he has. Oh, and try to not use information that in a month Bob gets sick, and won't finish refractor until 3 months from now.
