Same here. Sometimes I add comments like "don't change this shit!" to remind myself that there is a reason why it is like that.

- Mezzie 5y agoThose comments would help if future me would listen to them. "Huh, I wonder why I put that in here... let's see what happens if I change that shit."
- SketchySeaBeast 5y ago"I'm certain I've learned enough in the last 10 months to solve this problem now." "I did not."
- sudobash1 5y agoI prefer to add comments which contain some rational, like "Changing this causes race condition headaches in the frobulater." Or "Ugly... but it handles the edge case of XYZ in the foobar config" If I don't then the comments either have the effect of a) scaring future me, or b) getting ignored because I think that I can do better now.
