How to annoy yourself
I just looked at the submission-processing code for SH, where I found the following comment:
# I was going to add code here to deal with story titles in # all caps, but it turns out we almost never get those. # But I wrote the code, so I may add it at some point anyway.
I figured it was time to finally add this. So I went looking for the code that I allegedly wrote.
No sign of it anywhere.
What was I thinking? Did I set out intentionally to annoy my future self?
I wonder if Fermat felt like this when he looked back at his copy of Arithmetica a few years later.
(Added a few minutes later: found it! Whew. It was in my ~/bin directory, where I sometimes write Perl snippets. Not sure why the file didn't show up when I did a Spotlight search for a particular variable name that's in it.)
