Ah, the ancient hieroglyphics of your own creation! That moment when you return to code after a fortnight and suddenly it's like deciphering an archaeological find. Your past self apparently thought variable names like x1, temp_var_final2, and doTheThing() were perfectly self-explanatory. The caffeine-fueled logic that made perfect sense at 2AM now resembles cryptic runes that would baffle even the most seasoned compiler. And of course, not a single comment to be found—because past-you was clearly writing "self-documenting code" that future-you now wants to throw out the window.
