Human memory is so fascinating. Unearthing an old gameboy game I was working on a year ago. I don't remember how the heck I coded some of this stuff, nor where I left off. It's like stumbling on a fragmented part of your past. Even this project: I haven't touched in a month and a half and I'm finding hazy recollections of what I was doing before I took a break. Anyone else feel this?

i feel this even just with small scale projects. i started just writing out a bunch of notes in my project drafts/sketches but i feel like it would also just be helpful to add notes directly in the code as reminders for what to work with/vision/next update/etc...
+at least just as a memory tool to understand the thought process behind the project at the time of creation. its so easy to totally lose track after a length of time passes
yep!!!! it happens a lot with me and writing... like when i'm rereading something i wrote, i can't help but think, when on earth did i make this? what was my thought process? either way, i do believe that no human can nor should remember everything they have done... that is way too much to carry!
