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
@kojack@mastodon.gamedev.place@sinbad I still run into situations where I google for how to do something and find myself on twitter or the ogre forum telling people how to do it, but I have no memory of ever knowing the answer.
So I don't just forget how things I made work, I forget I even did them.
But I can remember student code from weeks ago, better than the students themselves. :)
@kojack glad it’s not just me
