I feel bad for the people who worked on teams where Younger Self was the senior engineer. I was full of ideals and convictions back then. “No, we’re not doing that. We’re going to Do It Right instead.” I was full of piss and vinegar. “Here, give me that; I’ll just do it myself.” I was full of shit.

Ouch, right to the heart. I do wish I could say that being an asshole was restricted to Younger Self, as I carried some of that way later in my career than I should have.
