edA‑qa mort‑ora‑y"Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else." - Eagleson's law
There are many angles to this quote, and we look at several of them in the show. I take the view that you should be able to recognize your code, and you should be able to be productive in it again, especially after only six months. Though, as time goes on, you'd expect code to look different, as you learn new things.
Stephane says he has problems recognizing code he wrote a few weeks ago.
Do you recognize your own code? Or are you horrified when you go back?
