I also apply what I call the Bus Principle. If you
get hit by a bus
and killed, one of your colleagues is going to have to take over your
work. Give them a fighting chance with code comments, and maybe even
a design document for large or complex things.
A manager insisted that everyone spend the last 15min of the day
writing down what was done that day on a sheet of paper and putting in
your desk drawer. No one was run over by a bus but the paper became
the first thing many consulted next day (and the act of writing
consolidated thoughts -- something much lost today).
