When you thought you made "smart" solutions and many years later you have to go in and fix bugs in it, is usually when you learn this.



There is a human side to this which I am going through right now. The first full framework I made is proving to be developer unfriendly in the long run, I put more emphasis on performance than readability (performance was the KPI we were trying to improve at the time). Now I am working with people who are new to the codebase, and I observed they were hesitant to criticize it in front of me. I had to actively start saying "lets remove <frame work name>, its outdated and bad". Eventually I found it liberating, it also helped me detach my self worth from my work, something I struggle with day to day.
