You can even remember thinking "Oh heck, this is really cool, non-obvious, it works, and (fateful last words) I'll just get around to documenting it sometime next week when I have "more time"... - Keith
Been there....... Done that.......
Trust me. You don't want to be in that situation.

And it hasn't happen to me, but I have witnessed the "Your too vital at what you do" to be promoted fallout.

How about we amend it to:

"Comment just because you don't want to be the guy working on the code. You want to be the guy developing new exciting projects, not changing exisiting code.
