Re:Ask HN: How to be productive with big existing code base by ken on Thursday February 28, 2019 @07:49AM (#19270968)
It's developer nature to look at any code and think that -- especially your own! Or if you prefer the abstraction, perhaps to consider that "myself 3 months ago" is a different person than "myself today".

Every time I've gazed upon a new legacy codebase and said "This looks like junk", the system architect responded "Yes -- that's why you're here!"
