@GustavinoBevilacqua Yeah, definitely a good strategy. It's so easy to under-comment or under-document because in the moment, your solution feels so obvious since you know all the constraints, but in retrospect, it's not so obvious...

Code is so much easier to write than read because when you're writing it, you know the goal you're trying to achieve and the constraints placed upon your solution. -

Often, the solution becomes "obvious" because of these two factors, so you don't need to think too hard about what to write.
When you're reading code, you often don't know the exact goal or constraints that were placed on the writer, so you're piecing together not only the "how" but the "why". #dev #programming
