Every once in awhile I'll have to revisit a page I wrote in the early 00s that's either PHP or Classic ASP. All of the code is so nested and awful. All the mistakes you make as a junior dev.

Working with Classic ASP was painful if you needed to manipulate strings. I had to go that direction because the server at the office was NT. The site rarely went down but I pushed it pretty hard.

Yeah, revisiting old code can be painful! And I had completely forgotten a lot of the syntax, like ReDim Preserve 😆
