Around 2 years ago, I got an email from a products team asking me for urgent help extending a program in time to make a sale.

I looked over the program and wrote back sonething along the lines of "this program was written almost a decade ago by an unsupervisered highschool intern. Why TF are we still using it?".

Of course, I ended up helping them, because that highschool intern was me, and I ended up helping because no one else could figure out what highschool me was thinking.

I sometimes wonder if the spaghetti i wrote when i was still learning to program (on my own, in the corner of the room, ignored by all the “real” devs) is still used by the team i wrote it for.
