Documentation

Even though everyone gripes about having to document code, including me, I also think it is very important. My experience working at Hawkes Learning Systems has proven this. I am currently working on converting a classic ASP page to an ASP.NET page and so I have to look at someone else's code and understand what it is doing so that I can convert it to a different language. It is always helpful to see comments because it helps me understand what a function is doing or what the expected output is. I also agree that comments need to be in the code even if you are writing it because who knows whether you will even understand what you did in 6 months.
