Comment on Ask HN: Publish old projects even though the source code embarrasses you by now?

Comments

I've got C++ projects on my website that I wrote when I was 10 years old.

Old code isn't embarassing, it's an unlocked achievement at a given state of progress.

If you feel embarassed by your code you'll never face the harsh reality that time is a limited contigent, and therefore limits the quality of code. Everyone has a trade-off equilibrium when the time spent on a project doesn't justify its workload complexity (or reduction thereof) anymore.
