Debugging Your Brain Instead Of The Code

Looking at your two-week-old code like it's ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics is the universal developer experience. The mental gymnastics of trying to decode what past-you was thinking is harder than solving the actual bug. Your brain frantically searches for memories: "Did I write this during that energy drink bender?" No documentation, no comments—just mysterious symbols that might as well be instructions for building a pyramid. Future tip: Comment your code or prepare for archaeological expeditions into your own creation.
