Oh god, the comments I put in the code, explaining what I was doing and why, and how to test that the product had been fixed before changing my code, because I just knew some junior codebro was going to come in and think, "I should clean this code up!" and they'd have no idea why it wasn't working anymore ....
Thank you for your comments.
Nothing irritates me more than walls of code without any comments and the "cOdE sHoUld bE sElf-DoCuMenTiNg" attitude. No, it's impossible to describe complex industry-specific processes by naming your variables and functions nicely.
