Your Future Self Is Your Most Important User

Nobody reads your code more than future you.

Six months later, you won’t remember:
why this exists
what this edge case handles
what you were thinking at 2 a.m.

Great code is written with empathy for that version of you:
clear intent
obvious structure
helpful comments

If your future self understands it,
everyone else will too.

Write code you won’t hate later.
