An AI museum for your worst old code
Feed an AI the worst code you ever wrote and let it curate an exhibit: a plaque for every bug, a guided tour of your bad decisions, and the lesson each one taught you. Embarrassment, turned into a gallery.
Every builder has old code they are quietly ashamed of: the function that does six things, the variable named data2, the fix that only worked by accident. This idea turns that shame into an exhibit. You upload the worst of it, and an AI acts as curator.
What the museum would do
- Write a museum plaque for each piece: the year, the crime and the lesson
- Give a guided tour in the voice of a very serious art critic
- Group your mistakes into wings, like The Copy-Paste Period
- Show how your style changed, so you can see how far you have come
It is a joke with a real use: looking back at old mistakes is one of the fastest ways to learn. Pin your own: what is the worst thing you would proudly put on display?
