I would never imagine that picking apart old #legacy code would be a fun activity for me. But now, having replaced 30+ lines of unprofessionally written jQuery mess with two lines of backend Python code, I feel so euphoric. Took me an hour to even get the sense behind it, but itโs rewarding. I guess I definitely chose the right profession ๐
@kytta my primary function in my day job is reading and understanding old messy programming in sometimes obsolete controls systems and reprogramming those functions in newer controls systems using modern standards. I really enjoy it, so I know what you mean. It can be fun and quite satisfying.
