I keep a copy of some very old code, from 15ish years ago, and I've peeked into it a few times in recent years when facing similar problems to what I've solved there, only to be horrified by what a pile of garbage that was. So there's also a fun element in that - seeing how far I've come. It's a good laugh.

I have a bunch of open source projects from more recent years up on Github that I look at once in a while when I'm looking for a solution for something, and they tend to be less piles of shit. BTW my biggest project open source project has been taken over by a whole team after I've left it, and I can't recognize most of the code now, that's a really weird bittersweet feeling.
