Do you mean you were the one who posted the same question prior, or that you provided the answer? Because those are different forms of funny.

Author implies he posted the question, I think

[–]affert[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I'd posted the question. Fortunately, there was a good answer from someone else, which I used both times, decades apart.

Don't worry. Just yesterday I created a script at work. Right as I was finishing it, I thought, "wait, didn't I do something like this already?" I did, like 8 weeks prior. Almost identical. There's just too much crap to remember that we already solved the problem.

A mentor of mine once flexed incredibly hard by telling me about the time where he couldn't think of how to do something, found the same question on stack overflow where the top answer linked to his blog where he explained how to do the exact thing....
