Lmao me commenting my 14 line bash script, comments almost as long as the script itself.
I have a habit of forgetting "why'd I put this there" and at least with my scripts I can leave myself a note for future me.
The highest comment-to-code ratio I ever wrote was a CMD script that had to combine three different escaping conventions.
It was a good day when I got to throw that one away.
Adding the fourth, ultimate escape to it.
