No, I mostly go back and surrender to not understanding why I wrote what I wrote. Yes, I am in awe. But because it's a like a third person wrote it.

Regardless of comments.




Haha. I'm always proud of myself when I look at code that I don't understand, and I see some comment clarifying it and making obvious the reason why it couldn't be simpler and why I did something the way I did it. And then I'm like: "hey, you can trust yourself"

When that doesn't happen, I just spend the time to understand it again and add the comments. It eventually gets better.
