Code documentation Memes

Junior developer: "How do I remember what my code does?" Senior developer: "That's the neat part. You don't." The true hallmark of experience isn't perfect memory—it's the calm acceptance that you'll inevitably forget everything you write. That's why we have comments, documentation, and git blame. The senior's mustache contains more wisdom than all of StackOverflow combined.

Finally, someone who comments their code properly! The sacred ancient art of adding a copyright header twice in the same file. Nothing says "I'm a professional" like redundant legal protection from 1987. The second copyright notice is there just in case you missed the first one while doom-scrolling through 10,000 lines of legacy code at 3 AM. Security through repetition! Pro tip: For maximum job security, add a third copyright notice at the end of the file. That way, future developers will be too intimidated by your thoroughness to ever refactor your masterpiece.

The classic "Friday me vs Monday me" time loop of despair! You confidently abandon your code on Friday thinking "I'll remember exactly what I was doing!" Then Monday hits and you're staring at your own creation like it's written in hieroglyphics. Your brain has completely wiped all memory of what that mysterious variable named 'x' was supposed to do, why there's a comment saying "DO NOT DELETE THIS - FIXES EVERYTHING," and why half your functions have names like 'temp_solution_final_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL'. The weekend memory wipe is the true villain of software development.

Ah, the eternal developer paradox! The junior dev is having an existential crisis about remembering what their code actually does, while the battle-hardened senior dev drops the ultimate truth bomb: you don't . This is why we have comments, people! Though let's be honest, even with meticulous documentation, we all eventually stare at our code from 3 months ago like it was written by a cryptic alien civilization. The title "Not Even With The Documentation" just twists the knife deeper - because even when you DO document, future-you will still have absolutely no idea what past-you was thinking. The true mark of seniority isn't remembering everything - it's embracing the chaos and accepting that code amnesia is just part of the job description!
