ALWAYS DOCUMENT YOUR OWN CODE

by Anatoly IVANOV

WEB DESIGN / ESSAYS

So… I’m debugging someone else’s JavaScript code… and remembered this quote from somewhere:

“Document my code? Why do you think it’s called ‘code’?”

Argh…

I always document my own code. Cause, even several projects later, which can be as little as 1 month… I can’t understand the brilliance of my own creations without these inline notes of how elegant I thought that line was.
