Think How Your Future Self Will Feel

Think How Your Future Self Will Feel
Writing code with zero documentation is like putting your future self in a chokehold with a dirty boot. Sure, it feels fast and efficient now—why waste time on tests and comments when you could be "shipping features"? Fast forward six months and there you are, staring at your own cryptic spaghetti code like it's written in hieroglyphics. The boot of regret slowly crushing your soul as you whisper, "Who wrote this garbage? Oh wait... it was me." That's karma in its purest form.

Comments Are Very Important

Comments Are Very Important
The gradual descent into madness every developer experiences when they convince themselves comments are unnecessary. "I'll remember what this code does" is the battle cry of the optimistic junior, while the clown makeup represents the inevitable reality check six months later when you're staring at your own hieroglyphics wondering what dark magic you were attempting to summon. Future You will absolutely hate Past You for this decision. The final form—full clown regalia—is what you deserve when you realize the code that "only you will work on" is now being assigned to the new hire who keeps asking why there's a function called fixThisLater() with zero explanation.

The Clown Transformation Pipeline

The Clown Transformation Pipeline
The gradual transformation into a complete clown represents the self-delusion of developers who think their undocumented code will somehow remain comprehensible over time. Sure, you wrote it yesterday and understand it perfectly. Fast forward six months and you'll be staring at your own creation like it's written in hieroglyphics. Future you will hate present you. Your teammates? They've already started building the voodoo doll.
