Knowing that there is still a bash script i wrote around 5 years ago still running the entirety of my high scool lab makes me sorry for the poor bastard that will need to fix those hieroglyphs as soon as some package breaks the script.

my handwriting it’s exactly like that. Doesn’t help that i am left handed and smudge the shit out of the paper. But what i meant was the “oogabooga” caveman level of comments i add to code. You’ll be lucky to find a cohesive sentence in them. Ex: “check for x if exists, assume setup is done”

Tbf, i always comment my code to do a sanity check of what i am doing along the way( think rubber duck method with comments). The problem is that my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.
