>Don't judge me! This code is everything from badly written to extremely dangerous.
My code is never good enough. Whenever I release a piece of code, it always seems like a load of crap. And as I have got a bit better at coding over the years, this never changed. (Probably because I do write shitty code.)
So I came to believe that it doesn't matter how proficient a programmer you become, you will probably always feel this way, because your eyes are already set on the next level of proficiency, your standards are always above your current abilities. And that's good, because this is how you get better.
But because of this, your code always seems like a piece of crap and whenever you decide to go public with it, you always feel compelled to make a note about this in your code.
I propose that we standardize the way that we declare this sentiment, and agree on a universal sign much like the copyright sign for this idea, that says:
"I hereby declare that I am not a douche bag, who thinks his code is the best code that has ever been coded into existence. I am just a coder who aspires to provide the best code to the best of his abilities under the circumstances. I am willing to learn though, and I aspire to write better and better code, even though this piece of code might stink. But nobody is perfect. Deal with it."
