The Documentation Paradox

Ah, the circle of developer life. Junior devs step on rakes by not documenting code, then get smacked in the face when they forget how their own sorcery works a week later.

Meanwhile, seniors are out here doing sick skateboard tricks with proper documentation, clean code, and READMEs... but still wiping out spectacularly when that one function they wrote 6 months ago might as well be ancient Sumerian.

The real truth? Nobody remembers how anything works. The difference is seniors have learned to leave themselves breadcrumbs for when future-them inevitably becomes an amnesiac.
