Heck, I've got code I wrote ten years ago and no idea why it was done that way except for a vague memory of a request that I implemented but was never really used.
I've also been asking long form questions, including links to my research sources (especially our internal documentation), explaining my reasons for making certain assumptions, etc.
This helps future me easily find answers to the same questions when I end up having them again, and can eventually serve as documentation when even newer people come into the company.
I've also been taking exquisite notes (online, so searchable), including the same type of long-form links so that even if I have to leave a task for a month, future me can come back to it and pick up the thread immediately.
Taking these notes does slow me down a bit in the short run but I find it is invaluable in the long run.
Yes it works well for that! I used ChatGPT recently to write a quick code snippet that turned out better than what I found on SO or could have written myself 50X slower.
> Underearners Anonymous® is a Twelve Step Fellowship of people who have come together to help themselves and one another recover from underearning.
> Underearning is many things, not all of which are about money. While the most visible consequence is the inability to provide for one’s needs, including future needs, underearning is also about the inability to fully acknowledge and express our capabilities and competencies. It is about underachieving, or under-being, no matter how much money we make.
But if you flip A and B, then B and C, then A and C, you get B and C to swap positions without changing their orientations.
