Maybe I just haven't worked at a company long enough for this to happen, but I tend to remember what I previously worked on very well. I am still disgusted by the code I wrote sometimes. But that just means I'm learning and getting better at coding.
When I was a team lead, I was juggling 4 things every day.
Meetings, help a junior, PR a critical system, code a thing.
Repeat every day and after a month, I wouldn't remember what I worked on the prior month.
Yeah, I guess that's fair. I was a team lead for only like 2 weeks before my project was canceled, and yeah, I remember it being similar. I'm not sure I wrote a single line of code during those 2 weeks, though. I was too busy. Or maybe I did and I don't remember, but since the project was canceled, it never came back to haunt me.
