That's me currently. Can't understand my own code that I wrote a year ago.

Sometimes I can't understand code I wrote 2 weeks ago x,) that's why you always gotta comment heavily and put anyone reading the comments exactly where you were mentally when writing it in the first place

@jonnyserra or you could write self-documenting code ;-)

Same

@asgs there is no such thing, I know plenty of people who claimed to write "self-documenting" code, it's a myth, it doesn't exist, and immediately as your app grows in complexity no careful variable naming will tell the next dev what the fuck is the reason why they are there, if you ask me, you should name your variables carefully AND comment and annotate it.

@jonnyserra that is what I learned the hard way

@jonnyserra I agree, but it is not a myth either. Code reviews are meant to arrest such deviations. If the project leads and maintainers keep accepting code without keeping a tap on code quality, that is bound to happen for sure and unfortunately, it just happens due to crazy deadlines and what not.

No one comments?

@jonnyserra I just came back to work after holiday break. This is my life this week.
