> I am not a good programmer. To be clear, I’m not… bad. I can pass a coding interview. I’ve handcrafted huge repositories spanning multiple languages and machines, and I’m pretty proud of them. But wow, have I also written some bad code. Things that I’ll see a year later, whisper “What idiot did this?”, and slowly realize, through the fog of git commits, that I was that idiot.

This argument is circular logic because everyone has written bad code at some point in their life. Assuming that the author has not suffered any form of death between birth and now, and assuming that when he was born he had no knowledge of programming, by intermediate value theorem of course he has written bad code.
