IDK, I just popped open a project from 10 years ago and it's perfectly clean, it's actually better than some of my modern code because it's not LLM-ified to save time.

I think it has a lot more to do with whether it was made in that "kind of crappy IDK what I'm doing" phase of programming. Some of your old stuff is going to be in that category sure. As long as you're out of that, however long it took you to get there or however far away it was in time, your code should be good.

Hmm that seems like an indication you're rushing things and maybe ought not do that?? 🤦
