Just realized my python script failed because I ignored comments.

Always comment your code, or you'll forget what it does.

lol the "forget what it does" part is so real. I spent like an hour trying to figure out my own regex from last month. It was just a mess of slashes and symbols, zero notes, smh.

Started putting short inline comments above weird lines... saves me from the "what was I even trying to do here" panic later.

But what if those comments just make the code messy? They often don't get updated when the code changes, so they can give wrong info. I find it cleaner to write code that explains itself without notes.
