I usually say that when I am pretty positive it was my code that's now... shit :)

Unfortunately, I was still warned that this may portray an atmosphere of non-acceptance when done in "public" channels since readers might not be aware that this was my code and that I am making a self-deprecating remark.

Honestly, I am not sure whether to keep doing it or not. I like the relaxed and jovial atmosphere that comes out of it (it's more of a joke that all of our past code is shit, and ultimately, that what we are writing today is the shit of tomorrow), but I struggle to come to peace with the PC crowd. Am I really messing it up for someone else?
