That once might have been true, but I am living proof that the solar-constant
has changed because I routinely come across code that I clearly created but
which I:
don't understand what it does,
and/or
don't understand why it does what it does,
and/or
don't remember creating.
(There should be an option to this shell script (that I wrote) to do Glurp.
Oh! It already is there, and the usage message tells me so, if I would just
look at it.)
Today's obvious is tomorrow's obscure.
