This is so me!
Maybe I’m getting alright at in-code documentation because when my code breaks after months of me not looking at it, I can return and get up to speed in a few minutes.
(or maybe these people are working on much more advanced stuff)
Its always like 3 hours to remember why I was doing what I was doing, just to scrap it because the core is all wrong.
// TODO make this work
Pro tip: Keep a log of your work in a text file. I write a few bullet points for each day and on Friday write a “Next Week” section for my todos on that following Monday. Helps reduce the cognitive load of trying to remember what the hell you were about to do next.
AKA a WAR, which is an unnecessarily aggressive acronym for “weekly action report.”
Me except it’s everyday, and it’s my boss’s code, so I’m not able to complain 🫠
