in reply to What to do when you realize you've written bad code

Support: Realize that you have improved as a coder.

War story (in progress): I am currently reviewing some code I wrote back in 1998 (shortly after learning there was a version 5 of perl). Amusing. Horrifying. Humbling, at times, but not enough to shake my hubris. And reassuring: Those years have not been wasted :-)
