👽 dimitrigorvachov

have you ever been ba¢k to a coding project you wrote in the beginning of your programming Journey and all your variables were named something like "x1" "some_thing," you never used functions etc? that happened to me today and I was both amazed that I actually knew what I needed to do in order to write cleaner code and embarrassed about how bad I was at the start

Usually I'm pretty good about this, but I fooled myself into thinking it wasn't so important for my OpenSCAD files. Maybe it's something about spatial code in particular that especially brings this out. · 2 years ago

As a game dev, I know how that feels. It also applies to 3D modelling. I see an old levels I modelled and constantly see mistakes I made that I would never make today. · 2 years ago

I recently got this hunk of junk running after discovering it on an old hard drive where it had sat for over 10 years. I mean it's applying a 4D rotation matrix to a fractal so it's never going to be particularly clean. But still... uh, what. gemini://marginalia.nu/junk/very-old-code.cc.gmi · 2 years ago

It would be truly scary to look back and not see any differences... that would mean that you have not learned anything. · 2 years ago
