The Cryptic Comment Conundrum

The infamous "CAT" comment strikes again! Nothing quite says "I spent 3 hours debugging this function" like a random variable named "cat" with zero explanation. Is it a Counter Accumulation Total? Concatenated Array Tracker? Or just the developer's feline friend walking across the keyboard at a crucial moment? The world may never know, but that single word will haunt the next developer for eternity. The best part? The author probably thought it was perfectly self-explanatory.

The forgetting curve is real and it's exponential. The only prevention? Build useless side projects you'll never finish. It's not procrastination, it's spaced repetition.
