> code that I wrote myself is hard to read

This has happened more times than it probably should:

1. Arrive upon some code I wrote at some point in the near or distant past.

2. Review it to get some idea of what I was trying to do

3. Laugh at my young self for being so naive

4. Refactor or Rewrite

5. Re-realize the edge-cases and difficulties

6. Remember this being a problem

7. Refactor And Rewrite

8. Either `git reset --hard HEAD` or end up with a similar solution, but with better comments

Once in a while, I end up with a [simpler | faster | clearer | otherwise better] version, which makes this process worth while - even with the false positives.
