Old Code Variable Naming Regret

Text on the meme

Looking at some old code and was initially puzzled by a variable named 'feet' I have now worked out that this was at one point called 'legend_handles', which then became 'leg_hands', which then became 'feet' sometimes I truly hate my past self

What it means

A Twitter post jokes about discovering that a poorly named variable called “feet” evolved from “legend_handles” to “leg_hands.” The punchline is self-directed programmer regret over confusing, abbreviated naming choices in old code, making it a relatable reaction for developers revisiting past projects.
