I’m slightly envious of people who can describe all the tiny technical details of things they worked on years or even decades ago. I can’t do that - my brain seems to evict things it “doesn’t need anymore” really fast and unless I have a “hook” back in, I can’t immediately recall how I did some of the things I did. This is part of the reason why I take the time to write decent docs & comments for my libs; they’re as much for me as anyone else
@sinbad same here. I take some solace in the idea that even though you can't remember the particulars, the general lessons should still stick. You can't remember every meal you've had or every book you've read either. And they still made you you.
