    Oh god, the comments I put in the code, explaining what I was doing and why, and how to test that the product had been fixed before changing my code, because I just knew some junior codebro was going to come in and think, “I should clean this code up!” and they’d have no idea why it wasn’t working anymore …

      Thank you for your comments.

      Nothing irritates me more than walls of code without any comments and the “cOdE sHoUld bE sElf-DoCuMenTiNg” attitude. No, it’s impossible to describe complex industry-specific processes by naming your variables and functions nicely.
