I have a special skill of writing terrible code, not seeing it for half a year, and then remembering exactly what the code did

There is a "Not from a Jedi" joke in here somewhere. I can feel it.

I can see that. "This is going to be a problem in the future." makes it memorable.

That happened to me once. Weird experience. Usually it's writing terrible code, not seeing it until the next morning and then having no idea what it does.

Could it be the code was so scarring that the pain never left?
