I just make sure I supply a detailed what, why and how comment with each commit and then copy and then just export that for documentation. Also spending time putting thought into a standard system for properly naming variables in your app goes a long way. A lot of people like to abbreviate things just to avoid typing. Modern IDEs allow autocomplete so there is little excuse for this. The only time that is acceptable is in a very small very self evident class, method or function that does something very simple and atomic. I try to avoid this as well since I like to be able to do named search and replaces later if needed. Too simple of a variable name will lead to collisions with sed/awk ect
