My real regret after reading this post: my early code is lost. Git didn't exist. Maybe SVN did but I wouldn't have had a clue.
To my genuine amazement, the company I worked for immediately after leaving college is still using a program I wrote for them seven years after I wrote it. When I left, they said that every company operation was going to be covered by SAP- weird how that didn't work out...
But still, it was written in VB.NET (!) and was a horrible, horrible mess. I would love to take a look at that code now, but I'm afraid that if I contact them they'll hold me responsible for updating it.
Be glad. My forays into programming have been gitified. It's like these teenagers growing up with social media and cameras everywhere. They'll always have those years to haunt them :P
