Yep. Someone once told me "any code that you wrote more than 6 months

way that you can debug it".
It was instilled in me early on by my one and only mentor that someone
that comes along later may have no idea what my code is doing. So
comment. Even when it might be self-explanitory, comment anyway.
In my 40-year career as a programmer, I've more than once had that
someone who comes along later be myself.
