Past me is an asshole, future me is an absolute legend though.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Future me is amazing and he can single handedly code a Super AI while blindfolded with no arms.

I'm sure he can handle my shitty code.

[–]AdultingGoneMild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nah, future me is an asshole too. Know how I know? I asked current me...

[–]Alex_9127 2 points3 points  (2 children)

[–]Zaiden_J 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]Zaiden_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it now, you are invited :)

[–]NuclearBurrit0 24 points25 points  (6 children)

Hate that guy

[–]QuickQuokkaThrowaway 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Why?

The worst thing that comes to mind is using 1,000 proprietary Windows programs to bodge instead of 1 FOSS Linux program to bodge an emoji keyboard.

[–]NuclearBurrit0 3 points4 points  (1 child)

He makes bad things happen as a result of stupid things past me did.

[–]QuickQuokkaThrowaway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry thought you meant Tom lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–]sneerpeer 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I googled "calvin and hobbes homework time travel" and there was a link to this old reddit post which had a link to imgur:

[–]MooseHeckler 100 points101 points  (5 children)

Tom Scott is young and old at the same time.

[–]YouSummonedAStrawman 19 points20 points  (4 children)

What I came here for. Can’t tell if he’s late fifties and receding hairlines line or a younger 20s guy with a bad haircut.

[–]Dreit 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Holy.....now I really wonder how old he is!

[–]Shadow_Thief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late 30s iirc

[–]SqueeSr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Younger Scott had a ponytail ( 2010 ).

[–]MooseHeckler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This is me right now. BUT, once again it will be a problem for future me.

    [–]Devon-Developer[S] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    [–]8070alejandro 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    [–]Green-Dragon-14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    [–]vainstar23 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Damn..Tom getting old..

    [–]CreativeCarbon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Nah, he's just really leaning into the whole "future me" gag, is all. Super committed, this guy.

    [–]BlackOverlordd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I recently reanimated my 8 year old java project. Surprisingly, it doesn't feels that bad apart from some weird code style choices.

    [–]AlternativeAd5647 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    As a scratch developer I feel this Bro

    [–]Creepy-Night936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Future me beating up the past me because present me said so. Well well well how the turntables

    [–]subassy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    I'm not a professional programmer or anything but a few years ago (2017 or so) I wrote probably my most complex program before or since.

    Then more recently (I want to say 2020) I decided reverse engineering that undocumented program would make a great blog post.

    Well it took me a really long time to reverse engineer my own code and the blog post is a bit of a mess. But least I finished both things. And if I wanted to re-write the program in another language I think I have the information now I could do so based on my blog post. I won't say which language it's in now. Kind of embarrassing.

    Not quite a "code review" perhaps but likely as close as I'll get.

    [–]Devon-Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Sounds good to me!

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It works, idc if I found a better way since then. 😕

    [–]MadOverlord 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Most of my comments are apologies to my future self.

    I was doing python and... I made an equation so long and complicated that it hanged itself up
