At Least I Commented It

At Least I Commented It
That moment of existential horror when you open up code from six months ago and find your 17-paragraph manifesto explaining a single function. Past you really thought future you would need a dissertation on why you used a for-loop instead of map(). Bonus points if the comment is longer than the actual code and includes phrases like "DO NOT TOUCH THIS OR EVERYTHING WILL EXPLODE" and "I'm so sorry for whoever has to maintain this." Plot twist: it's still you.

Now Only God Knows

Now Only God Knows
Oh, the TRAGEDY of code amnesia! 😩 You write this MASTERPIECE of logic at 3 AM, fueled by nothing but energy drinks and sheer determination. Your brain and the divine forces of the universe are the ONLY witnesses to your genius. Fast forward two weeks later, and you're staring at your own creation like it's written in hieroglyphics from another dimension! Even the CAT knows you're doomed! That moment when your past self has BETRAYED your future self by not leaving a SINGLE comment. Now you're stuck in documentation purgatory, and your only hope is a séance to contact your former, more enlightened self!

Debugging Your Brain Instead Of The Code

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.
