"Am I going to remember why I did this?"
Moreoften than not, it's several weeks - if not months - before I revisit my code. A little one line comment goes a long way toward reducing my debug time... Self-documenting code is great, but it doesn't always explain why I used ++$counter rather than $counter++. If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.
