It Actually Happened To Me

The sacred art of writing incomprehensible code that somehow works flawlessly... until you need to modify it six months later. That moment when your brilliant 3AM solution with nested ternaries and clever one-liners transforms from "elegant masterpiece" into "cryptic nightmare" is the true developer rite of passage. The tears aren't just for show—they represent the exact millisecond you realize documentation would have been a good idea. Your future self is always your most vengeful code reviewer.

Why can't we just use hours or days? I'm just rolling a few d6 when I put these estimates in, and I have no idea what it really means to everyone else on the team.

Ah yes, the classic "stating the obvious" comment. The car door literally says "This DOOR is Blue" while being clearly silver/white. It's the programming equivalent of writing int x = 5; // this is 5 instead of explaining why x needs to be 5. After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that future you will hate past you for these comments. The real documentation we need is "WHY this door is painted differently" not "WHAT color it obviously isn't." Just like your code should explain the how, your comments should explain the why.
