Code responsibly or your work can haunt you

Have you ever written code that was below your average quality? I have, and sometimes I wish I could have write it better then.

There had been times when I came across some of my older work, and I’ll be tempted to rewrite or refactor or rework the code or logic. Then I told myself that I did the best I could then, and I should let it go. Focusing my energy on future projects is a better use.

That said, sometimes your creations can come back and haunt you. Like in this animator versus animation video.

I reserve the right to delete offensive, spammy and/or unintelligible (based on context) comments. I do read all comments, even if it takes a while for me to respond. Polite criticism is fine. Rude ones will be deleted (right after I correct the error of course).
