I treat my future self a few months from now as a separate person who does not remember anything about why or what the specific code fragments do. And I'm grateful to my past self for doing the same.

Plus, you never know when you need to actually delegate supporting a particular piece of a solution to another person.

Write your code as if the next person that works with it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
