I can look at old code that I wrote and feel good about the growth I've made.

I also can look at old code I wrote, which I need to understand/update, and be really annoyed at my past self.

How annoyed I am is entirely based on what I need to do to the code right now. The fact is, it's way easier to be annoyed at myself than annoyed at other people.
