Do I need to attach my oldest projects to my resume?

Hello. As I wrote in my other question, I just completed a Java course and am now preparing for a job. I wrote a couple of programs for this. I want to attach their code to my resume. But I still have the code of several of my old programs that I wrote at the university (in other languages). Is it worth it to also attach a summary of this code (for the time being, I doubt that this should be done, because then I wrote worse than now, and the programming languages ​​are different; but on the other hand, this will tell the employer even more about me, and he will be better know who I am and how I "code"; so I don't know, and decided to ask others, perhaps more experienced people than me).

attach with the note "old projects"
but you can't guess here. it's not the same for everybody. someone needs a big portfolio. someone short and to the point. and in both cases, deviations from the expected are perceived negatively. therefore, give out on the mountain what you are proud of, and in small print a link to junk, so that in which case you can say - here, there, if it's not enough for you.

attach code to resume?
are you laughing?
sit on?
Or on a flash drive?
well, what a shame, a hundred years in the afternoon as there is a github and the minimum requirement for the worst developer to have an account there

I would only show what I'm not ashamed of. If you have experience with other languages, this is only a plus.

If the code is so shameful, then no, do not specify. Or indicate, but with a bold Disclaimer, that this is shit code written for scientific purposes. Sometimes knowing that you understand your own mistakes is welcomed by employers.
